This image captures a manual excavation or mining site in Rayfield, Nigeria. The environment consists of disturbed reddish-brown soil, rock fragments, and scattered piles of earth, with several muddy puddles visible on the ground. Multiple blue and one beige hose lie horizontally across the foreground and mid-ground. Four individuals are present. On the far left, a male wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans stands next to a white sack on the ground. To his right, a female in a red top and striped shorts is bent over a white bucket, appearing to process material. In the mid-right, a female in a black top and black leggings stands with her hands on her hips, facing towards the right side of the frame. On the far right, another female, wearing a light-colored hat and dark clothing, holds a long-handled tool (likely a shovel or pickaxe) and stands near a white bucket and a red plastic basin. The background features a steep, uneven slope of reddish-brown earth.
