The image depicts an active street market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria. In the foreground, a large black plastic basin, likely a modified wheelbarrow tub, contains numerous bottled and canned beverages, predominantly soft drinks and water, some appearing to be chilled. This basin rests on a rustic wooden cart, beneath which a black plastic bag and a yellow object are visible. To the immediate left, a woven straw basket with a red handle sits on the ground. A woman, wearing a black top, is seated directly behind the beverage basin. Her head is bowed as she meticulously examines or counts money or small items wrapped in white material held in her hands. To her right, a young boy, approximately 5-8 years old, stands with his back partially to the camera, observing the basin or the woman. He wears a dark brown t-shirt with visible tears on the shoulders, grey sweatpants with white side stripes, and black "Champion" branded slide sandals. In the midground, several male figures populate the bustling market. One man, wearing a red and white short-sleeved shirt, stands behind the seated woman. Other individuals, dressed in various casual attire including patterned shirts and an orange t-shirt, are distributed throughout the background. Overhead, sections of light blue and red tarpaulin or awnings provide shade for market stalls. Clothing items are visibly displayed for sale behind the primary vendors. The ground consists of rough pavement or packed earth. Distant background elements include simple concrete block buildings under daylight conditions.
