An elderly man stands in profile on a raised concrete surface in a street market in Zaria, Nigeria. He is dark-skinned, has a white beard, and wears a brown traditional tunic with matching trousers, topped with a white patterned cap. His right foot is in a flip-flop sandal, while his left foot wears a dark, closed shoe. He grips a wooden stick in his right hand. In the immediate foreground, several small, grey, decorative metal teapots or kettles with handles are displayed on the ground, likely for sale. Behind the man, a yellow three-wheeled auto-rickshaw, identified by "SBG 247" and "Aljazirdata" in green text on its side, is parked or moving slowly. Inside or near the rickshaw, a child or young person in a pink headscarf and orange clothing is visible. Other adult males, dressed in traditional attire, are present in the mid-background around the auto-rickshaw. To the far right, a black signboard with white text is affixed to a metal pole. The environment features dusty ground, partially visible buildings with light-colored facades, and a reddish pillar in the background, suggesting a bustling outdoor commercial area under daylight.
