The image depicts an outdoor street market scene in Aba, Nigeria. In the immediate foreground, an adult female with dark skin tone is captured from the chest up, positioned slightly to the viewer's right. She wears a black headwrap and a black dress with large white polka dots. A brown strap, possibly from a shoulder bag, crosses her torso. Her right eye exhibits swelling or partial closure. To her immediate right, a wooden market stall is visible, laden with numerous green items identified as limes or small green fruits, and several green cucumbers. Further into the mid-ground, another stall displays piles of green papayas. The background features a bustling market environment with multiple makeshift stalls constructed from wood, corrugated metal, and various fabrics, some shaded by umbrellas. Several utility poles with numerous overhead power lines crisscross the upper portion of the frame; one pole in the mid-right has distinctive black and white diagonal stripes. Other individuals are visible in the mid-ground and background, including a woman in a red headwrap and pink top to the left. A paved road or path in the distant left shows pedestrians and vehicles, including what appears to be a motorized tricycle. Various buildings, including a prominent grey multi-story structure and smaller, older market buildings, constitute the architectural backdrop. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight, suggesting late afternoon or early morning.
