An adult female is depicted outdoors in Akwanga, Nigeria, engaged in grain processing. She is seated on a low wooden stool, wearing a blue, red, and light blue patterned sleeveless dress and a white and blue geometric patterned headwrap. Her attention is directed towards the camera. She holds a circular, flat, woven tray containing light-colored, oblong grains (likely groundnuts or beans) on her lap, actively sifting or sorting them with her hands. To her left, a black plastic basin holds more of the same type of grain. In the lower right foreground, another black plastic basin is filled with these grains, containing a small, white, chipped bowl. The ground is exposed earth. Behind her, a simple structure composed of weathered wooden planks and corrugated metal sheets is visible. To the left, concrete blocks are stacked. A white tarp is spread on the ground in the background, and a light-colored dog is partially visible in the upper right background.
