The scene depicts an outdoor domestic area in Sabongari Garkida, Nigeria. The ground consists of light brown, sandy dirt. A mature leafy tree occupies the central midground, with various items of colorful laundry, including blue, green, and patterned fabrics, hanging from its branches and in the background. Beneath the tree, two large, round earthenware pots rest on the ground. The pot on the left is covered by a flat, circular metal lid. The pot to its right is covered by a silver tray, which in turn holds a yellow, textured cylindrical object. An inverted black plastic basin rests beside this second pot. To the far left, a pile of dried, light-colored sticks or branches lies on the ground. A white chicken with light brown markings on its neck and wings stands on the dirt between the sticks and the first earthenware pot, facing right. In the background, behind the sticks, corrugated metal sheets are stacked, along with other indistinct metallic objects. Further right, behind the tree, several yellow and orange plastic jerrycans are visible. A woven natural fence, possibly made of reeds or palm fronds, forms the background wall. No people are visible.
