A vertically oriented black-and-white photograph depicts three men with medium-dark skin tones on an armored vehicle. One man peers from a hatch beneath gun barrels pointing toward our left. Atop the vehicle, two men in camouflage uniforms and helmets with goggles sit; the man on our right holds a rifle. Behind them, a sign reads: "ROAD CLOSED TO VEHICLES EXCEPT THOSE OF VISITORS TO STATE HOUSE". A fourth man stands in the distant background.
