An outdoor scene in Itakpe Junction, Nigeria, depicts a weathered lion statue on a tiled pedestal. The black lion statue stands on its hind legs, featuring a detailed mane, open mouth, and bared teeth. It holds a dark-colored shield with gold-painted scrollwork, showing visible chips and deterioration. The statue rests on a small patch of artificial green turf atop a white-tiled pedestal with brown grout lines. Behind the statue is a light-colored concrete block wall. To the left and right, rough, unpainted concrete pillars flank the scene. A light brown wooden stick protrudes from the brick wall, angled upwards behind the lion's head. Green leafy vegetation grows from the base of the pedestal and on the unpaved ground in the foreground. No individuals are present.
