This image depicts a bustling outdoor market scene in Onitsha, Nigeria. In the foreground, a dark-skinned woman with a serious expression is seated on a low wooden stool, wearing a dark hat, a patterned long-sleeved top, and a dark apron or dress. Her right hand is raised to her chin. To her left, and extending into the midground, are numerous large sacks filled with light-colored tubers, likely yams or potatoes. Some of these sacks are stacked on top of other sacks that clearly display "BUA CEMENT" in blue lettering, indicating repurposing of cement bags for produce. A separate small pile of yams is visible on the ground to the far left. A partial view of another individual, wearing a floral purple top and a solid purple skirt, is visible on the far right, with only their lower torso and legs shown. The background reveals a densely packed market environment with various stalls and goods. Sacks of grains or other commodities are stacked, and a sign partially visible in the upper background reads "FINE BRAN WHEAT OFFALS". Several indistinct figures are present in the background, suggesting ongoing market activity. The ground is unpaved and appears to be dirt or compacted earth. The lighting suggests a bright, sunny day.
