Two Black boys in their teens stand back to back. One faces the front in his black and white dashiki and gloves. He holds a black staff with a carved golden end in the shape of a crescent moon and a blue gem hovers inside it. His hair is in a high top style with 2 lines on the side of his head. Behind him, a boy in a red and black dashiki and glasses looks over his shoulder. His hair is in short twists.
