A woman walks forward on a paved street in a busy market district of Lokoja, Nigeria, under bright daylight. She is seen from the chest up, positioned slightly left of center, with a serious expression. A large, light-colored enamel tray rests on her head, supported by a yellow fabric head-pad, and is heavily laden with numerous small, clear plastic bags containing shelled groundnuts (peanuts). She wears a short-sleeved polo shirt with horizontal blue and yellow stripes, a blue collar, and an "adidas" logo on the right chest. Her lower body is clad in a white skirt with vertical red stripes. A blue reusable shopping bag with colorful text is suspended from her right elbow. To the immediate right in the foreground, a blue, utility-style cart is filled with a large quantity of loose dried red chili peppers, along with several smaller clear plastic bags also containing peppers. In the background, a purple sedan/SUV drives along the street, followed by a man operating a motorcycle with a passenger. Further along the street, additional people and market stalls with awnings are visible. To the left, a parked black motorcycle and more market activity are present.
