Other women are visible standing and seated throughout the scene, wearing various head coverings and casual clothing. The foreground and mid-ground display a variety of goods for sale. Large bundles of green leafy vegetables are prominent on the left. On a wooden table, a large blue plastic bag and a tray with stacked, pyramid-shaped, foil-wrapped items are present. Below the table, a chipped white metal basin contains a light-colored granular substance and a metal scoop, resting on two used tires. To its left, a green plastic basin holds numerous small, light-colored packaged items. A blue plastic basket containing assorted items in plastic bags is visible near the leafy greens.
