A forensic scene photograph depicts a single cylindrical metallic object resting on dry, granular soil in Zango-ndaji, Nigeria

A forensic scene photograph depicts a single cylindrical metallic object resting on dry, granular soil in Zango-ndaji, Nigeria. The object, appearing to be brass or gold-toned, is positioned horizontally on the ground. It possesses a smooth, highly reflective exterior surface. One end of the cylinder presents a bright, polished face, while the opposing end displays a dark, circular aperture, suggesting a hollow internal structure. The object is estimated to be approximately 10-15 centimeters in length and 2-3 centimeters in diameter. The ground consists of reddish-brown, fine-grained soil with scattered small dark pebbles and larger aggregate clumps. A small, irregular, reflective shard, possibly glass or plastic, is visible in the upper right quadrant of the frame. A larger, light gray, angular rock fragment is located in the lower right portion of the scene. No individuals, actions, or interactions are present within the photographic frame.
