The scene is set on a paved road in Otuocha, Nigeria, illuminated by direct sunlight which casts long, distinct shadows. A central figure, representing a masquerade, stands upright on the asphalt, fully enveloped in a voluminous, shaggy costume constructed from light-colored, fibrous material with minimal colored strands. To the right of this figure, a young man in a black short-sleeved shirt and blue track pants with vertical stripes holds multiple thin, dark, flexible rods or whips, directing them towards the masquerade's back. Further right and slightly behind, a young boy in a red polo shirt and dark trousers observes the interaction, standing next to a partially visible wheeled cart. In the background, a building with maroon structural elements and lighter-colored walls features a large, vertical billboard displaying text and an image. Lush green foliage, including palm trees, is visible behind and around the building. A low concrete curb delineates the road's edge on the left.
