An adult female is observed cooking in an indoor or sheltered outdoor area within Dadi Riba, Nigeria. She is positioned in a low crouch or seated on a dark stool on the right side of the frame, facing partially towards the viewer with a slight smile. She wears a black head covering and a sleeveless dress with a pink, white, blue, and black geometric pattern. Her right hand holds a yellow plastic spatula, stirring light-brown fried food items within a dark cooking pot. This pot rests on a small, dark, cylindrical charcoal stove emitting visible flames and glowing embers. To the left of the stove, her left hand tends to a dark object. Behind the active cooking pot, a larger dark pot or container is present, over which a metal bowl or colander containing additional light-brown fried food items is placed. The background consists of a dark, unadorned wall and various stacked dark objects on the upper right. A wooden beam or post stands vertically on the far left. In the bottom left foreground, a partially visible hand and forearm hold a dark, undefined object. A red bucket is partially visible in the bottom right foreground. The floor appears to be concrete or packed earth. The scene is dimly lit.
