The scene unfolds on a street in Otuocha, Nigeria, under clear daylight. In the immediate foreground, a young male stands on a reddish-brown dirt shoulder. He wears a dark short-sleeved shirt with a light-colored shoulder panel and the number "18" in white on the back. His left hand holds several slender wooden sticks, while his right hand is raised towards his mouth. To his right, on a paved asphalt road, stands a person arrayed as a traditional masquerade figure. This figure is covered by a dark mask with long, light brown, shaggy hair-like fibers, and wears an elaborate garment of yellow and black patterned fabric with star motifs, adorned with hanging strips of various textiles, including fibrous white material. The figure's lower legs are encased in woven light brown material, and it holds two long wooden sticks in its gloved left hand. Several fallen branches are scattered on the dirt ground between the two foreground figures. In the mid-ground, the paved road recedes, flanked by buildings of varying construction. Several individuals are visible further down the street, including one pushing a wheelbarrow. A light green utility truck is partially visible, parked on the right side of the road. Overhead, a brown canvas awning provides shade on the left, and utility poles stand against a bright sky.
