This image depicts an indoor gathering of approximately eight adult women in Akwanga, Nigeria. The women, all appearing to be of African descent, are actively engaged in what appears to be a musical or communal singing performance. In the foreground, a woman seated on a blue plastic chair is striking a large, ornate, dark-colored clay pot with two handles and abstract white markings, using a dark, brush-like implement. She wears a white top with blue and white stripes underneath, a necklace, and a purple headwrap; her eyes are partially closed. To her left, another seated woman, dressed in a white lace top and a purple headwrap, has her hands raised with palms open. Next to her, a light brown paper bag containing folded fabrics (pink, purple, green) rests on the tiled floor near the base of a blue plastic chair, which bears the partially visible text "UMCA". A reddish cylindrical object, possibly a drum with metal bands, is partially visible on the far right. In the midground and background, multiple women are standing or seated. Most wear white or off-white lace tops or dresses and purple or blue headwraps. Their mouths are open in expressions consistent with singing or chanting, and some have their hands raised or gesturing. One woman in the mid-left wears a plain white short-sleeved top with a circular green logo. The environment is a simple indoor space with a light-colored tiled floor featuring dark grout lines. The background wall is plain and light-colored, and the ceiling consists of light-colored panels or wood, with a ceiling fan partially visible in the upper mid-right.
