A close-up, high-angle view captures two hands engaged in opening a bivalve mollusk

A close-up, high-angle view captures two hands engaged in opening a bivalve mollusk. The left hand, with a light-toned complexion and light-colored nail polish, firmly holds an elongated, dark green and brown shell, approximately 4-5 inches in length, exhibiting distinct concentric growth rings. A small, blue, flat-tipped prying tool is held between the left hand's thumb and index finger, its tip inserted into the shell's narrow opening. The right hand's thumb and index finger are visible supporting the shell from below. In the blurred background to the upper right, a white plate contains several light-brown, textured food items covered in white powder. To the lower left, a metallic, golden-colored object, possibly a decorative tin or container, is partially visible with the word "MEXICO" embossed on its surface. Below the hands, a clear, shallow dish or container with a reflective liquid surface is present. The scene is brightly illuminated by direct, natural sunlight, consistent with an outdoor market environment, likely in Mexico City, such as the Mercado de Artesanías de Ciudadela, where experiences involving opening cultured pearl oysters are commonly offered.
