The scene depicts an outdoor food preparation area within Akpaka Forest Reser, Nigeria. A dark-skinned adult female, wearing an orange and black floral short-sleeved top and dark shorts, is seated on a wooden stool. She is actively using a wooden pestle to pound a light-colored substance within a large, grey stone mortar, which rests on a makeshift wooden plank platform. Her left foot, wearing a light brown sandal, is visible on the platform. To the right, a cooking station features a large, dark, round pot containing two light-colored, spherical food items. This pot is supported by rocks on a black metal stove, possibly a repurposed car wheel rim, with evidence of embers or ash beneath. Two dark wooden beams diagonally cross the image from upper-left to lower-right, partially obscuring the view. In the upper-left background, a second, partially visible individual with dark skin, wearing a green and striped garment, is present. The ground consists of reddish-brown dirt, with sparse green vegetation along the left edge. A brick structure is partially visible in the far left foreground.
