This image depicts an outdoor gathering in Akwanga, Nigeria, under a clear blue sky on a bright, sunny day. The ground is reddish-brown dirt, with strong sunlight casting distinct shadows. Approximately 15 individuals are present, ranging from children to adults. In the foreground, a young dark-skinned woman stands centrally, wearing a maroon strapless garment, a crisscrossing white beaded chest adornment, and multiple gourd-like rattles secured to her bare ankles. Her hair is styled upwards with white bead decorations, and her face bears white ritualistic markings on the forehead, cheeks, and chin. To her immediate right, another young dark-skinned woman wears a leopard-print strappy dress, similar white facial markings, and gourd-like ankle rattles; she is also barefoot. To the left of the central figure, a young dark-skinned man wears a white t-shirt, ripped dark jeans, sandals, and a maroon fabric draped over his left shoulder. Adjacent to him stands a young dark-skinned boy in a dark blue t-shirt, light pants, and sneakers, with a leopard-print fabric draped over his right shoulder. Further left, a dark-skinned woman in a leopard-print dress with white facial markings stands barefoot. A person in a white and blue shirt is partially visible from the back on the far left edge of the frame. In the midground, a white tent with blue trim, possibly bearing the partial word "VET" or "VES," provides shade. Beneath and around this tent, several other individuals are visible: a man in a dark t-shirt and light jeans, seemingly adjusting something, and multiple women in various colorful wraps and head coverings, some also exhibiting white facial markings. The background features several single-story buildings with light-colored walls and dark roofs, interspersed with sparse green vegetation, including a prominent palm tree on the far left.
