In Ikota, Nigeria, a person is depicted in a profile view, facing left, head-carrying merchandise. The individual, an adult with dark skin and braided hair, wears a red upper garment and supports the load with a dark fabric head-cushion featuring a yellow stripe. The carried items include a large, blue, shallow basin, upon which multiple layers of round, golden-brown food items, consistent with baked or fried dough, are stacked and enclosed within clear plastic wrapping. Strong daylight illuminates the scene, casting light predominantly on the visible side of the subject. The background consists of an out-of-focus, textured light gray wall.
