A young Black female stands outdoors in Alade, Nigeria, looking directly at the camera with a slight smile. She wears a plain, long-sleeved white dress featuring a square neckline and a horizontal stitched panel across the chest, along with a white, voluminous, pleated head covering. A thin silver-colored chain necklace with a small, light-colored pendant is visible on her chest. Her left hand is loosely closed. Her right hand holds a white cylindrical object, possibly a marker or pen, from which a dark string or wire extends, suspending several small, metallic, clip-like objects. The subject is positioned on a light-colored, uneven paved surface. In the background, there is a building with bright blue walls, topped by a narrow yellow band. A brown wooden double door, partially open, and a dark-framed window are visible on the blue wall, with two small yellowish wall fixtures flanking the door.
