An adult male, dressed in a tan tunic and dark trousers, stands in an outdoor or semi-enclosed domestic courtyard, operating a large wooden mortar and pestle. He holds a long wooden pestle within a dark brown wooden mortar positioned on a concrete surface. The ground exhibits wet patches and minor cracks. Behind the individual, a rope clothesline is visible with a piece of red fabric hanging to dry. To the right, a tall blue plastic barrel, a large orange open-top plastic bucket, a gray lidded plastic bin, and a silver metal pot are arranged on the ground. In the foreground, a large silver metal tray and several small dark plastic containers lie on the concrete. The far wall, which is light-colored, features a decorative metal screen with a black and red/orange patterned design. Strong natural light illuminates the scene, casting distinct shadows. The location is an unknown domestic utility area.
