The image displays an outdoor market stall selling calabash-based crafts in Syokimau-Mulolongo ward, Kenya. In the foreground, a large pile of natural, uncarved, light brown gourds of varying shapes and sizes rests on the ground. Immediately above this, a wooden pole serves as a central display fixture. Hanging from the pole are multiple decorative calabashes. A cluster of approximately ten elongated, light-colored calabashes, each intricately carved with dark brown elephant and geometric patterns, is suspended from the upper section. Below these, numerous rounded, deep red calabashes are displayed, adorned with white cowrie shells forming intricate patterns and featuring orange-brown string tassels. On the ground behind the suspended items, a dense collection of smaller, carved and painted calabash items is arranged, including reddish-brown vessels with etched designs and some with woven straw rims. In the background, a metal fence separates the market stall from a roadway where several light blue and white public transport minibuses (matatus) are parked or moving. A person is partially visible, seated or standing, behind the fence to the right. Green tree foliage provides canopy above the stall, and a utility pole extends into a bright, overcast sky.
