This image depicts an outdoor market stall in Owerri, Nigeria. In the foreground, a long wooden table covered with a blue tarpaulin displays numerous piles of dried, processed cowhide (ponmo or kanda), varying in size, shape (rolled, flattened), and color (tan to dark brown). Some pieces are individually tied or contained within clear plastic bags. A young adult male, wearing a bright green t-shirt with the text "FESUVU" and a dark brown satchel slung across his body, stands behind the table on the right. He is focused downwards, actively handling or arranging the cowhide pieces with both hands. To his left, another section of the table holds more cowhide, and a small quantity of shredded pieces rests on a narrow wooden plank. In the mid-ground, a woman with curly hair, wearing a patterned top, is seated at another stall, looking towards the left. Further in the background, additional market structures with rudimentary wooden frames and corrugated metal roofs are visible, along with other indistinct figures, indicating a bustling market environment. The ground beneath the foreground table is reddish-brown dirt. A red Coca-Cola plastic bottle and a blue-striped plastic bag, tied shut, are visible on the ground. The scene is illuminated by natural sunlight, casting distinct shadows.
