Black and white photograph showing a man in traditional Nigerian dress, which is possibly a carnival outfit. The man wears trousers, a grass or reed skirt, and a leopard-skin shirt. He wears a head-dress and his face is covered by a leopard-skin veil. Four Nigerian young men and boys stand behind him, each carrying a traditional instrument. A group of Nigerian boys can be seen in the background. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, an institution run by the Methodist Missionary Society in southeast Nigeria.
