The image depicts an outdoor market scene in Numan, Nigeria, under direct sunlight, casting sharp shadows on the dry, earthen ground. In the midground, a woman in a blue headwrap and tunic attends to a stall, looking towards the right. She displays various goods on multiple trays: a round metal tray holds small bottles of liquids (some clear, some green) and numerous small packaged items, while another silver tray below contains additional packaged goods. To her left, a larger silver tray on stacked black tires holds a quantity of light green seeds or grains. Directly in front of her display, a large red-rimmed metal tray is filled with numerous dried fish. To the right of the central vendor, another woman stands in a yellow and black striped polo shirt and a patterned skirt, observing the scene. Partially visible on the far right is another woman in a patterned dress, carrying a brown shoulder bag. In the foreground, the knees of an individual (likely the photographer) are visible, dressed in blue and orange patterned fabric and plain yellow/orange fabric. A red plastic bowl on the ground contains white bulbous items (possibly garlic) and a yellow plastic bag. In the background to the left, two men sit on wooden structures, dressed in light blue and light grey traditional attire, amidst makeshift market structures and corrugated metal sheeting. A silver metal bowl with green legumes or vegetables is also visible near the dried fish tray.
