This image depicts an open-air market scene in Nnewi, Nigeria, captured during daylight hours with bright sunlight casting strong shadows. The primary area of focus is a market stall constructed with a crude wooden framework, supporting a roof made of corrugated metal sheets partially covered by worn tan and white fabric tarpaulins. In the foreground, a raised concrete or dirt platform serves as a display area. Hanging from a horizontal beam are numerous small, plastic-wrapped sachets containing various goods, likely spices or snacks. On the platform, there are piles of reddish-purple onions, several plastic bottles of cooking oil, canned items, and other packaged products. A large black plastic bag, printed with "Shopping Bag," rests on this platform. To the far left, a white woven sack is partially visible. Further into the market, a female individual stands near a second stall in the middle-right of the frame, facing slightly away from the camera. She wears a patterned top, possibly an apron or waist wrapper, and sandals. In her left hand, she holds two metal bowls, one yellow and one light green/blue. This stall displays fresh produce, including leafy greens and possibly potatoes, resting on a blue tarp or cloth. The ground throughout the market area is dirt, with scattered litter and debris. In the background, a two-wheeled wheelbarrow is visible further down the market aisle. Beyond the immediate market structure, a multi-story building with reddish-orange walls and several windows is partially visible. A woven basket sits on the dirt ground in the lower-left foreground.
