An adult Black woman stands outdoors in Alor, Nigeria, smiling directly at the camera. She wears an ankle-length dress featuring a green, brown, and white geometric pattern, with ruffled short sleeves. A multi-colored fabric headwrap covers her hair, and dark sandals are on her feet. A dark strap hangs around her neck. In her right hand, she holds a grey plastic jerrycan with a white lid and an orange spout cap, resting it against her right hip. Behind her is a large, dark-colored, possibly rusted, metal gate with distinct structural and decorative elements, including curved sections and latches. The ground is an unpaved reddish-brown dirt surface. Strong sunlight from the upper left casts prominent shadows of the woman and nearby green foliage, visible on the right, onto the ground.
