A dark-skinned right hand grasps the lower shaft and the trapezoidal base of a gold-colored, ornate decorative standing cross. The cross features intricate filigree patterns along its arms and vertical member, with the Christogram "IHS" prominently displayed in raised, stylized letters at the center. The gold-colored base exhibits circular indentations on its upper surface. Strong daylight from a window on the right illuminates the object, casting shadows. The window contains horizontal bars or a screen. The background comprises a textured, light-colored wall to the left of the window and a dark, indistinct material further left. This scene is located in the city of Jos, Nigeria.
