The scene depicts an outdoor market in Shangisha, Nigeria, under daylight conditions, evidenced by clear shadows on the asphalt surface. A market stall occupies the mid-ground and right foreground, featuring three rustic wooden tables used as display stands. These tables are covered by a tattered yellow and brown striped canopy. Merchandise on the tables includes numerous clear bottles containing dark liquid, likely honey or herbal preparations, topped with light-colored caps. Adjacent to these, a round woven tray holds an assortment of dried organic materials. The table on the far right is draped with a colorful fabric featuring an animal print and displays multiple stacks of clear plastic containers filled with various granular or powdered substances. A large clear plastic bottle of liquid and smaller bottles are positioned behind these containers. A male vendor, wearing a dark shirt and a dark cap, is partially visible behind the right side of the market stall, positioned to attend to customers. In the background, to the left, several blurred human figures indicate pedestrian traffic on a street or pathway. Multiple utility poles with a network of overhead wires are visible in the upper left and mid-ground. Behind the market stall, a light-colored concrete wall topped with barbed wire fencing runs horizontally across the scene. The shadow of an individual, presumably the photographer, is cast prominently on the asphalt in the lower foreground.
