An adult female stands outdoors in Zongon Daji, Nigeria, positioned slightly right of center. She wears a reddish-brown headwrap, a maroon, pink, white, and blue patterned top with white decorative elements and fringes around the neckline, and a red, yellow, black, and green plaid wrap skirt. Her feet are clad in black and white open-toed sandals. She looks downwards with a serene expression. In the immediate foreground and to her left, eleven unpolished wooden mortars of varying sizes and wood tones are arranged on the dry, earthen ground amidst sparse vegetation. Behind the woman and partially obscured by a bare wooden pole, a dusty, dark blue Mitsubishi L300 D van is parked, showing signs of wear including a missing front headlight cover. Further in the background, the environment consists of a dusty dirt road or path, rudimentary structures constructed from corrugated metal, more sparse vegetation, and laundry hanging on lines supported by wooden poles. The sky is clear and blue with minimal cloud cover, indicating daytime conditions. A small dark bird is visible on the ground to the right.
