The image depicts an outdoor street scene within a market environment in Lokoja, Nigeria, under a bright, sunny sky with scattered clouds. In the foreground, a woman and a young child walk from right to left across a paved road. The woman, positioned closer to the camera, wears a light yellow headscarf and a sleeveless, vibrant yellow wrap with embroidered patterns over dark trousers, complemented by red flip-flops. She has distinct facial scarification marks on her right cheek and forehead and looks directly forward. In her left hand, she holds a black plastic bag. A young child, appearing to be a girl, holds the woman's right hand. The child wears a white and yellow striped short-sleeved top, yellow leggings, and tan sandals. Her hair is styled in small braids adorned with colorful beads. The child looks slightly downwards and to her left. The background is a bustling market. To the immediate right of the woman is a market stall with a striped blue and white awning, displaying various clothing items including bras and tops. Another woman is partially visible behind the counter of this stall. Across the street, numerous other market stalls with colorful awnings (yellow, red, blue, green) line both sides of the road, featuring diverse merchandise. Several individuals, primarily men, are visible walking or riding motorcycles (okadas) on the street. An orange motorcycle with a rider is prominent on the left side of the frame. Overhead, utility poles and power lines are visible. In the distant left background, a white mosque minaret with a green dome stands prominently. The bright sunlight casts sharp shadows of the woman and child onto the road surface.
