The image depicts an active open-air livestock market in Zangon Aya, Nigeria, under a partly cloudy sky. The ground consists of dry, reddish-brown earth with scattered debris including plastic bottles and bags. Numerous individuals, predominantly adult males, are present throughout the scene. They wear a variety of attire, including long robes and casual shirts with trousers. In the center-midground, a man in a bright blue short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers stands, extending his right arm in a pointing or gesturing motion, seemingly addressing someone or something out of frame to the right. To his right and slightly behind him, another man in a dark grey long-sleeved tunic stands facing away from the viewer. Several people are visible under makeshift shelters in the background. On the far left, a person holds a blue umbrella, while another person in the mid-ground holds a light green umbrella. A large congregation of goats and sheep populates the market area. These animals vary in color, including white, black, brown, and spotted patterns, and consist of both adults and younger animals. Many possess prominent horns. Some animals are standing, while others are lying on the ground. Several animals in the foreground, including a white goat with large, curved horns, are partially visible. The market features several makeshift shelters constructed from poles and covered with materials such as tarpaulins and woven plant matter, providing shade. A prominent tan-colored tarpaulin shelter is situated in the middle-ground. Near the central blue-shirted man, a silver metal basin rests on a small stone, with a black plastic bucket and a white plastic bag located nearby on the ground. Distant trees and structures are visible on the horizon.
