The scene depicts an outdoor burial ceremony in Oko Town, Nigeria. A white, speckled casket with dark flecks rests horizontally over an open grave, supported by two wooden beams and a cylindrical object, with beige fabric straps visible beneath it, presumably for lowering. A substantial mound of reddish-brown excavated soil is piled behind and to the right of the grave. To the right of the casket, a male individual stands, wearing a short-sleeved collared shirt with maroon and abstract brown/white patterns, and maroon trousers. He holds a black microphone in his left hand and a dark tablet or book in his right, with a white cloth draped over his right forearm, appearing to be conducting a service or giving an address. Behind and slightly to his right, a second male individual, wearing a dark tunic and earphones, is partially visible. In the immediate foreground, two individuals are seen from behind, observing the scene. On the left, a person is wearing a white shirt with prominent blue and red patterns. On the right, a person with short, dark, kinky hair is visible from the back of their head and upper shoulder. In the background, behind the soil mound, a tree with a light-colored, mottled trunk stands. Behind the tree and soil is a weathered concrete wall. Above the wall, green foliage from other trees is visible. The ground throughout the visible area is reddish-brown soil.
