The scene depicts a busy open-air meat market stall in Zango-ndaji, Nigeria. A significant quantity of raw red meat, including muscle cuts and organ meat, is spread across a weathered wooden counter. Two knives, one with a wooden handle, rest among the meat. To the right, a person, wearing blue jeans and black sandals, is actively cutting a piece of meat with a knife, observed from the waist down, their left wrist bearing a wristwatch. Behind the meat, a white weighing scale with a plastic bag is visible. In the background, a woman wearing a brown patterned top stands behind the counter, looking forward, while a young child in a patterned shirt leans on the counter, holding currency notes. In the foreground on the left, a light-colored, scuffed hard hat with "DAYLONG" printed in red and green rests on the wooden counter. At the bottom right, a pair of hands belonging to another individual holds a small white brush-like object and a dark bag, their legs partially visible, adorned in yellow and black patterned fabric. The ground below the counter consists of light-colored, irregularly patterned paving. Further in the background, out-of-focus market produce, possibly red vegetables, can be seen.
