The scene depicts an outdoor compound in Sabongari Garkida, Nigeria, under clear skies. In the foreground, a dark-skinned individual, appearing male, wearing a maroon long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, is crouched on the dry earth. He is actively shaping and placing numerous small, white, ovoid or conical objects onto a dark-colored mat or tarpaulin spread across the ground. Thousands of these uniform white objects are arranged in orderly rows on the mat, occupying the lower half of the frame, suggesting a drying or curing process. A light-colored bowl is positioned in front of the individual, presumably containing the raw material for these objects. In the midground, a single-story building constructed of light-colored mud bricks or concrete stands with a corrugated metal roof and a single, shuttered window. To its left, a smaller, circular structure with a thatched roof is partially visible. Three large, globular earthen pots are placed on the ground in front of the main building, alongside a rudimentary wooden stand with a metal sheet top. The ground consists of dry, reddish-brown earth, scattered with dried leaves, twigs, and debris, particularly to the right of the crouched individual. A slender, deciduous tree with bare branches stands in the midground, flanked by larger, green leafy trees. Behind these, a fence constructed from corrugated metal sheets and wooden posts separates the compound from dense vegetation and further trees. Strong sunlight illuminates the scene, casting distinct shadows. A small portion of a dark-furred animal is visible in the lower right corner.
