An adult female is depicted outdoors in Akwanga, Nigeria, tending to an open fire for cooking. The woman, wearing a dark top and an orange, black, and blue patterned wrapper skirt, is bent forward at the waist. Her hair is styled in dark braids, and she wears dark flip-flops. The cooking setup features three black, three-legged cast iron pots placed directly on the earth ground. The central pot, supported by three large stones, contains a dark liquid with a serving spoon and is actively producing smoke from the burning wood underneath. Another pot sits behind and to the left of the central pot, while a third, smaller pot is positioned to the right. Wood logs and charred ash are visible beneath and around the central cooking area. The woman's right hand is near the burning wood, while her left hand holds a round, shallow metal pan or lid. In the background, a light-colored building with a dark blue door and a window with white framing is visible. A weathered metal railing with decorative elements is positioned between the cooking area and the building. The ground consists of bare earth with scattered debris and areas of dark ash.
