The scene depicts an outdoor market environment in Zango-ndaji, Nigeria. In the immediate foreground, a dark-skinned woman with braided hair and gold hoop earrings, wearing a yellow collared shirt with green polka dots, holds a large silver basin in her left hand. The basin contains small dried reddish-brown crustaceans and several clear plastic bags with indeterminate contents. Her expression is neutral as she looks forward. To her right and slightly behind, a second dark-skinned woman, wearing a blue garment and a light pink head covering, carries an infant wrapped in a light-colored fabric sling. In the background, a rudimentary market stall constructed from wooden poles and a tarp roof displays numerous articles of clothing, including trousers and shirts, hanging from lines and piled on the ground. Several other individuals are visible among the merchandise, and the unpaved ground shows scattered debris.
