This image captures a traditional cultural gathering in Jos, Nigeria. In the foreground, an adult male, adorned in a black, open-front garment decorated with numerous white cowrie shells, yellow shorts, a cowrie shell headband, necklaces, and wristbands, stands with his left hand poised over a drum and his right hand holding a curved wooden drum beater. His upper left arm features a bundle of pale, fibrous material. To his left, a young boy in a blue and white checkered shirt also holds a drum beater over a drum. To the far right, a hand is visible holding a large, white, feathered whisk or fan. The drums are traditional, cylindrical, with animal hide heads; one prominent drum is decorated with cowrie shells and red fabric strips. In the mid-ground, behind the central figure, another man in a red and white striped shirt is partially visible. Further back, obscured individuals wear distinct white, plumed headpieces. The background features a traditional circular hut with a conical thatched roof, set against a backdrop of green foliage. The ground appears to be reddish-brown earth. The scene suggests a ceremonial or performance event.
