Okpa Masquerade Band during Boys Initiation
A monochrome photograph depicting a masquerade band during a boys' initiation ceremony in Etiti Ama. In the foreground, individuals are seated on the ground wearing large, textured headdresses and light-colored fibrous lower garments. Two hollowed-out wooden cylindrical percussion instruments rest horizontally on the earthen surface. A large, open-sided structure with a steeply pitched thatched roof is visible in the mid-ground, with a crowd of people seated and standing in its shade. The scene is set against a background of dense tropical foliage.
