In Narayi, Nigeria, an adult female is observed standing outdoors, actively portioning food. She wears a white patterned headscarf, a dark purple jacket over a light-colored top, a green patterned long skirt, and pink flip-flops. She uses a spoon to scoop an orange-yellow, pasty substance from a larger cylindrical metal container into smaller, individual cylindrical metal cans. Approximately 15 to 20 similar cans, some filled, are arranged on a round metal tray to her right. In the immediate foreground, a large metal pot with a yellowish-clear plastic liner contains a substantial volume of food. The ground consists of packed dirt, with visible ash and charcoal remnants indicating a cooking area. Other objects on the ground include a small lidded silver pot, a silver bowl, and a black bucket topped with a blue patterned lid and a plastic bottle. The background features a light brown building wall with a metal grate, behind which red plastic beverage crates and other containers are stored. A wooden stool is positioned to the woman's left, and a circular grinding stone with a central hole lies on the ground in the lower-left.
