A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a man with a light skin tone on our left wearing a beret and protective vest. He looks down behind a clear shield. Behind him, another man holds a rifle. On our right, a crowd of children with light skin tones presses forward. In the foreground, a hand presses a stone against the shield, while another hand is raised with the palm facing outward.
