A close-up photograph shows an adult male located in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria. His face, from the forehead to the chin, is uniformly coated with a dark gray or black particulate substance, possibly powder or clay. He has short, dark, curly hair and a thick, dark beard. His eyes are open, with dark irises, and he is looking directly at the camera. His lips are slightly parted and appear reddish. Portions of his bare shoulders are visible in the lower left and right foreground. The background consists of a textured, light beige or tan wall, which shows some minor cracks and discoloration. A faint hint of green foliage or shadow is visible in the upper left corner of the frame. Strong overhead lighting illuminates the scene, casting subtle shadows on the subject's face.
