The image depicts an open-air market in Gurku Gwari, Nigeria, under a clear, bright sky. The ground is primarily dusty earth, overlaid in parts with large white polypropylene sheets and sacks serving as ground cover and display areas. In the immediate foreground, multiple black plastic bowls are arranged on the ground, containing various grains or seeds, including light yellow, white, and reddish-brown varieties. An open white polypropylene sack and a smaller, full white sack are also visible on the ground. A black basin containing a few lighter-colored items is present. A woman wearing a red short-sleeved top and a blue and yellow patterned wrapper is bent forward, reaching into a black bowl of grains. To her left, another woman in a grey top and headwrap is in a similar crouched position. On the far right, a woman in a blue, red, and yellow patterned dress stands partially visible. The mid-ground is densely populated with individuals, largely women, dressed in colorful traditional attire, actively engaged in market activities. They are positioned amidst numerous large, light-colored sacks, likely containing produce, which are stacked or placed on the ground. A person wearing a straw hat is seated on the left. A bright red open umbrella is visible above the crowd on the left. Towards the right, a wooden cart displays several yellow, elongated items, consistent with corn cobs, positioned near a single-story building. The background shows a crowded extension of the market. A large, verdant deciduous tree stands prominently on the left. On the right, a building with a light-colored, possibly mud or concrete, wall and a dark, likely corrugated metal, roof is present. Clothes are hanging on a line outside this building. The scene conveys a bustling outdoor commercial environment.
