A herd of cattle is overseen by a Fulani man clad in losing clothing and raffia hat, which might suggest that the weather is somewhat abrasive. Surprisingly, the grazing field is coarse and earthy with no green vegetation in sight. This herd must be feeding in a savanna region because the environment looks arid, barren to support any kind of vegetation.
