A bare-chested, middle-aged Black male is photographed indoors in Narayi, Nigeria, from the chest up. He has short, dark hair, a serious expression, and looks directly at the camera. His right hand, adorned with multiple dark beaded bracelets on the wrist, grasps the reddish-brown handle of a long, metallic blade, consistent with a machete or short sword. The handle features multiple attached reddish-brown fibrous strips. The blade extends horizontally across his torso, resting against his bent left forearm. The background consists of a light-colored wall. To the left, a closed, dark brown wooden door with two panels is visible within a lighter frame. To the right, a translucent light brown or orange curtain with a subtle pattern hangs from a dark curtain rod.
