In Porto-Novo, Benin, a traditional Egungun masquerade takes place, featuring a costumed individual adorned in a vibrant, heavily embellished outfit. The costume is a profusion of colorful fabrics, primarily red and yellow, with intricate appliqués and fringed borders in shades of brown and gold. A striking headdress, constructed from numerous small white shells, crowns the figure, adding to its imposing presence. The masquerader holds a metallic object that appears to be a sword or blade, and a wooden staff. Standing behind the masquerader, a man in a denim shirt is visible. Further in the background, another young man wearing a patterned t-shirt and red shorts observes the scene, standing near a white tent structure. The ground is composed of reddish-brown earth, typical of the region. The backdrop features a building with an orange-brown textured wall. The sky above is clear and blue. in Porto-Novo, Benin
