The image shows a ritualistic scene in what appears to be Akwanga, Nigeria. Centered is a person in a traditional costume with a large black fringed mask, horn-like protuberance and wrapped in colorful fabric with brown attachments on the ankles. To their left, an older man in a blue checkered suit looks down. To the right, a younger man in a grey tank top and black shorts stands barefoot, partially holding hands with the costumed figure. They all stand on a raised white tiled platform with a beige cross design. In the background, a figure in a yellow shirt walks past. A crowd of people are visible in the middle distance. The setting is an outdoor dirt lot with tropical trees and vegetation.
