A young Black male child is seated and centered in the frame, looking directly at the viewer with a slight smile. He is dressed in traditional attire, consisting of a white long-sleeved garment layered with a sleeveless dark vest featuring gold and black circular patterns. A textured brown woven cap is worn on his head, and a light-colored beaded bracelet is on his left wrist. He is positioned in front of two large, circular, flat woven mats that serve as a backdrop against a plain, light-colored wall. To the child's lower left, a smaller circular woven mat rests within a shallow woven basket. To his lower right, a taller woven basket holds a cluster of purple and pink feathery plumes. The child is situated on a surface composed of woven reeds or straw. The scene is located in Barakin Akawo, Nigeria.
