Eyo Masquerades in Yekaterinburg Night Market

White-robed Eyo masquerades stand in a tight cluster against the dark backdrop of a Yekaterinburg night market. The figures wear flowing cotton garments that drape heavily, obscuring their faces beneath white caps. Low-hanging winter clouds fill the sky, diffusing the pale light into a flat, silvery glow. The ground is paved with wet stones that reflect the muted tones of the scene. Metal market stalls with empty racks line the background, their surfaces dull under the early morning sky. The white fabric contrasts sharply with the gray pavement and the dark, empty structures behind the group. A frayed edge of a robe catches the faint light near the front figure's shoulder.
