An outdoor scene in Jos, Nigeria, depicts a group of men performing, likely at a cultural event. The central figure, a dark-skinned man with facial scarification, is captured in a close-up, playing a black, flute-like instrument adorned with cowrie shells. He wears an elaborate traditional costume consisting of a dark headpiece, chest harness, and armbands, all intricately decorated with numerous white cowrie shells. His hands, marked by visible veins, manipulate the instrument. In the background, several other men in similar cowrie-shell-decorated attire are visible, some also appearing to play flutes. One man directly behind the central figure is partially obscured, his headpiece and chest ornamentation visible. To the far right, another performer's arm and a fragment of his costume with light-colored, possibly fur or fiber, trim are present. The immediate environment features an earthy ground. In the deeper background, a traditional building with a conical thatched roof and mud-colored walls is visible. Overhead, decorative elements like red, green, and orange ribbons or streamers are strung, suggesting a festive or ceremonial atmosphere. Green foliage and trees are discernable in the distant background. The lighting suggests daylight conditions.
