This image captures a close-up view of a raw meat vendor's stall in an open-air market in Abuja, Nigeria. The central focus is a dark, heavily worn wooden cutting table displaying several cuts of fresh, raw red meat. Specifically, there are three distinct portions of rib racks, characterized by visible bones and muscle tissue, and a pile of internal organs (offal) exhibiting a convoluted, grayish-pink texture. Approximately 10-15 flies are observed resting on various surfaces of the meat, particularly the rib sections and offal. The wooden table shows extensive knife marks, grooves, and scattered bloodstains and small meat scraps. To the left of the table, a small broom with dark bristles and a black handle is present, alongside a partial view of a black-handled knife or cleaver. Behind the table, the lower torso and legs of an individual are visible, clad in a red short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, suggesting a vendor. The background consists of rough, unpainted wooden planks, forming the structure of the market stall.
