In an indoor kitchen or food preparation area in Opete, Nigeria, an adult female is seated on a white plastic chair on a tiled floor. She wears a light blue top with green and white patterned trim, dark trousers, white socks with red stripes, dark grey Crocs-style shoes, and a light blue hair net. She is actively using a dark-colored pestle to pound a reddish, pasty substance contained within a dark, possibly wooden, mortar positioned directly in front of her on the floor. Her hands appear wet or oily. To her right, a two-tiered stainless steel table holds a rectangular stainless steel tray filled with numerous small, dried, brownish-orange items (consistent with dried shrimp or crayfish). Also on the top shelf of the table are a red and yellow lidded container, a small red cloth, and various other kitchen items including a green-yellow lumpy substance, a black plastic bag, and white bowls. The bottom shelf of the table contains a large blue water dispenser bottle and several metallic pots or lids. To the right of the mortar, a green bucket holds an orange bucket, which in turn contains a bright green scoop. The background features light-colored walls, a white-framed window, and shelves displaying red and white containers.
