A young, dark-skinned girl stands barefoot in a dirt yard in Akwanga, Nigeria. She wears a red sundress patterned with white and blue stars, a pink and white headband with red bows, and a coral-colored necklace. She is balancing a flat, roughly hewn wooden object on her head and holding a long, thin, light-brown wooden object on her shoulder. An adult's arm, clad in an orange patterned dress, extends into the frame from the right. The adult is wearing a silver sandal. In the background is a single-story white building with blue-trimmed windows. A small wooden bench and blue plastic chairs are also visible.
