The image depicts an open-air market scene in Nung Udoe, Nigeria, focused on poultry processing. In the foreground, a rough wooden table, covered by a soiled white fabric, displays numerous raw, plucked chickens and cut chicken parts. Several whole chickens with visible claws and legs are present, alongside piles of fresh pink chicken meat. Red bloodstains are evident on the fabric covering the table. In the midground, a dark-skinned woman wearing a black and white floral short-sleeved top is actively engaged in butchering a chicken. She holds a large knife or cleaver, positioned above the chicken carcass on the table. To her left, a metal bowl contains additional chicken parts or offal. A simple wooden stool stands near her work area. Overhead, a reddish-brown tarp or awning provides shade. The background reveals a dusty, unpaved ground surface. Multiple individuals are visible standing or walking. One woman in a blue dress and another in a white shirt and light blue shorts are distinguishable. Further back, market stalls with colorful umbrellas, including one prominent orange umbrella, indicate a larger market setting. A light-colored concrete barrier or structure runs horizontally, behind which parts of vehicles, possibly a truck, are visible. The sky overhead is overcast.
