An elevated view captures an outdoor market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria, featuring a male vendor attending to a display of root vegetables. A dark-skinned adult male, wearing a black t-shirt and dark shorts, is squatting on the right side of the frame. He is barefoot, wearing dark sandals. His right hand is actively sorting or arranging numerous light brown and reddish-purple yams/sweet potatoes spread across a dirty blue tarp directly on the ground. The yams are arranged in several piles, with one stack of larger, lighter-colored yams prominent on the left. An open, off-white woven sack sits to the man's right, partially filled. In the upper left background, the lower legs and feet of another individual, clad in blue trousers and light brown footwear, are visible near a blue woven bag filled with individually wrapped white items. A cardboard box is partially visible behind the bag. The ground is a worn, light grey asphalt or concrete surface, illuminated by direct sunlight, casting shadows.
