A still life photograph depicts a talking drum, which is a type of West African drum, resting against a plain white wall. The drum consists of two drumheads, each circular, and interconnected by a series of cords and a central, cylindrical resonator. The left drumhead has a beige, leather-like appearance with a broad, striped strap running over its surface and secured to the wooden structure underneath. The right drumhead is comprised of vertical, light-colored slats held together by a red-beaded rim. A curved, wooden stick with a frayed, dark-colored covering on the handle end is also present, positioned to the right of the drum. A rope-like element is tied near the base of the drum, adding to the texture of the composition. The photograph is taken from a high-angle perspective, casting slight shadows on the wall, which suggests the lighting is from above. There is no indication of the location being in Ado, Nigeria.
