A woman is seated outdoors in Jos, Nigeria, engaged in cooking. She is positioned on a low stool, facing a large, multi-cavity cast-iron pan placed directly over an open fire, evidenced by visible ash and charred wood. The pan contains numerous round, pancake-like items; some cavities hold white batter, while others contain golden-brown, cooked or partially cooked items. The woman wears an orange headwrap, a white t-shirt with a palm tree and sunset graphic, a green long-sleeved undergarment, a dark apron, and a patterned wrapper skirt. She is leaning forward, looking intently at the cooking pan, and holds a small metal utensil in her right hand, poised to interact with the food. To her immediate left is a blue plastic bucket. To her right, on the ground, are a large lidded metal pot, a smaller black pot, a transparent plastic container with assorted contents, and another blue plastic container. A small ceramic dish is also present near the cooking pan. The ground surface is rough, light-colored concrete or packed earth. In the background, against a light-colored, textured wall, a grey plastic chair and a white collapsible clothes drying rack are visible. Strong, defined shadows indicate bright overhead sunlight.
