The scene is located on a light brown, coarse-grained paved surface in Beni, Democratic Republic of the Congo. A metallic, silver-grey cylindrical object rests horizontally on the pavement. The object features two distinct blue circumferential bands, positioned near each end. Legible text on the cylinder includes "GAZ LACRYMOGENE" (Tear Gas), "ATTENTION" (Attention), "DANGEREUX S'IL EST JETÉ SOUS LE VENT" (Dangerous if thrown downwind), and "LA DATE DE PÉREMPTION" (Expiration Date), consistent with a tear gas canister. The visible end of the cylinder is a flat circular surface with a small, centrally located circular orifice. A dark, irregular streak of moisture or liquid is present on the pavement in the upper-left quadrant of the image. The environment is outdoors, illuminated by natural light, casting a distinct shadow from the object onto the ground. No individuals or other significant objects are visible.
