A grayscale mural depicts a traditional domestic scene on a wall in Lokoja, Nigeria. The central subject is an adult female, with dark skin tones, wearing a patterned headwrap, a short-sleeved top, and a wrapper. Her eyes are closed as she sits or squats, holding a dark pestle with both hands, actively pounding material within a large, dark pot (mortar) positioned on the ground directly in front of her. An infant or young child is carried on her back, with its head visible, facing upwards towards the right. The background features a rural landscape with several traditional round huts distinguished by conical roofs. To the far left, another figure is partially visible, bent over a pot. To the far right, a silhouetted figure walks away, carrying unseen objects. A large, pale circular object, representing either the sun or moon, is visible in the upper right sky, alongside a partial palm tree frond. The mural utilizes a grayscale palette with varied tones and subtle golden/brown highlights for texture, resting on a dark red or maroon base.
