Three young females are depicted outdoors in Pantame, Nigeria, engaged in an activity involving water and a lumpy substance on an unpaved ground. The tallest girl, standing in the upper right, wears a yellow short-sleeved top and matching shorts with black stripes. Her hands appear wet or soiled, and she smiles directly at the camera. To her left, a second girl kneels, dressed in a purple short-sleeved top and dark lower garments, holding a light brown plastic woven basket or colander from which a whitish, fibrous or lumpy substance hangs. Her right hand is partially submerged in this substance. She also smiles towards the camera. Squatting in the lower right foreground, the youngest girl wears a blue and white patterned sleeveless top. Both her hands are immersed in a dark basin containing cloudy water and visible particles. She looks at the camera and smiles. The immediate environment includes multiple plastic basins and buckets: a black bucket with foamy water, a white empty bucket, and another dark basin containing cloudy water. A purple plastic colander is visible in the bottom left. In the background, a blue and white striped shirt hangs from a support post or line. Behind the standing girl, a rudimentary charcoal stove or cooking apparatus is visible, with black charcoal pieces resting on its base. The ground is uneven, light-colored dirt with scattered wet patches. Corrugated metal sheeting and a rough-textured wall form the background structures.
