The scene depicts an active, unpaved street in the city of Zango, Nigeria, under a hazy daytime sky. In the foreground, an older adult male, with visible gray facial hair, walks leftward, slightly angled towards the viewer. He wears a light brown, long-sleeved tunic over matching trousers and blue flip-flop sandals. On his head, he balances a large, tightly bundled stack of light-colored wooden sticks, secured with black straps over a striped head wrap. He carries two black plastic bags in his left hand. In the mid-ground to the left, two younger adult males interact with a metal handcart loaded with numerous dark-colored, rectangular plastic jerrycans, some marked with "25", stacked approximately three high. One man, dressed in a green shirt and brown sandals, walks alongside the cart, while another, in a white shirt, is bent over it, appearing to manage its contents. Several other individuals are visible in the background, moving between structures. The environment features a dusty, light brown ground surface. Buildings line both sides of the street; those on the left have corrugated metal roofs and utility poles with overhead wires. On the right, single-story structures with light-colored walls, possibly mud-rendered, are present. A lone male individual is seated on a low object near an open doorway of a building on the far right. Sparse green foliage is visible behind the structures on the right.
