Title not known (Ahmad 9)

Two woman holding candles to beastly figure

This complex composition by Mahoud Ahmad is centered upon the interaction between two women, standing over their lifeless male counterparts, confronting a beastly figure with lighted candles. The monstrous form is adorned with an array of gun barrels protruding from its forehead; it grins exposing sharpened teeth and wears a gold chain around his neck decorated with the dollar sign. A multitude of marching men with guns fill the right-corner background bathed in a reddish glow.
