In Ilishan, Nigeria, a dark-skinned individual is depicted in a crouched, dynamic posture on reddish-brown earth
In Ilishan, Nigeria, a dark-skinned individual is depicted in a crouched, dynamic posture on reddish-brown earth. The person's face is obscured by a mask constructed from spotted animal hide, adorned with white shells and featuring a prominent snout-like extension. White curvilinear markings are present on the bare chest and abdomen. A dark, patterned loincloth covers the lower body. The left wrist is adorned with multiple light-colored beaded bracelets, and both ankles are decorated with bushy, dark brown fibrous or feathered bands. The individual holds a dark, bushy whisk-like object in the left hand. The right hand grasps a small, deceased or incapacitated spotted wild cat by its neck. The background is blurred, showing indistinct natural foliage and earthy tones.
