This image depicts an outdoor livestock market transaction in Zangon Aya, Nigeria. The central focus is on two adult men engaged in handling Nigerian Naira currency notes. The man on the left, of medium-dark complexion with a beard, wears a light blue traditional tunic and matching pants, topped with a white embroidered skullcap. He is looking downwards, actively counting or organizing a thick bundle of currency notes with both hands. A pen is visible in his left chest pocket. To his right, a man of dark complexion wears a light grey and white striped short-sleeved polo shirt, dark trousers, and a brown and white patterned skullcap. He holds a stack of currency notes in his left hand, observing the first man's actions. Live goats and sheep are present on the dry, light brown ground around the individuals. Several white and brown animals are visible, with one black and white goat partially obscured in the immediate foreground. In the background, numerous other individuals are visible, indicating a crowded market environment. Simple structures made of wooden poles and dried vegetation, possibly market stalls or shelters, are present. Lush green trees are visible further in the background under an overcast sky. A white and blue umbrella is also discernible in the distance. The ground is dusty and uneven.
