A head-and-shoulders portrait of a dark-skinned individual, identified as being in Aramoko-Ekiti, Nigeria, is captured indoors. The subject, a young adult with short, dark, curly hair, faces directly towards the camera. Their face is covered with white paint applied in distinct patterns: two horizontal stripes above each eyebrow, a vertical line down the bridge of the nose, a horizontal line below the lower lip, and a vertical line on the chin. The individual's eyes are wide open, and their mouth is wide open as if shouting or screaming, revealing upper and lower teeth. Both hands are raised and positioned to the sides of the head, with fingers splayed and slightly curled. The subject wears a costume made of dried, light brown, textured leaves, likely banana leaves, which forms a cape or collar around the neck and shoulders. A portion of the bare chest is visible on the left side of the frame beneath the costume. The background is a dark gray or black wall, with a light-colored door frame partially visible on the upper right side.
