An adult male, dark-skinned, is seated on the ground outdoors in Jos, Nigeria, looking directly into the camera. He is adorned with extensive cowrie shell decorations, including a prominent headpiece, multiple strands forming necklaces and crisscrossing his bare chest and shoulders, and bracelets on his forearms. White fibrous material, resembling raffia, is attached to his upper arms as armbands. He wears red shorts and distinct anklets made of cowrie shells and spiked elements, secured with thin cords. His feet are clad in modern white athletic shoes with laces. The man holds a dark, cylindrical wind instrument, possibly a flute or recorder, embellished with cowrie shells, to his lips with both hands, his fingers positioned on its body. The ground beneath him is dry, reddish-brown earth, strewn with scattered dry leaves, small rocks, and minor debris. Behind him, a raised dirt bank is visible, with a darker, possibly compacted or paved surface in the background. The scene is brightly lit by natural light.
