An outdoor market scene in Ebute-Metta, Nigeria, depicts a prominent display of large, cooked prawns. A conical pile of numerous reddish-orange prawns rests on a round, shallow woven basket lined with translucent plastic. This basket is elevated on a stack of approximately five inverted orange plastic buckets. To the immediate left, several empty woven baskets of various sizes are visible. To the right, another large woven basket holds a quantity of darker, dried or smoked seafood, possibly fish or smaller crustaceans. A bright yellow plastic bucket with a red handle is situated in the lower right foreground. In the mid-ground, a young individual with dark skin, wearing a red baseball cap and a white and red striped shirt, is partially visible behind the main prawn display, looking left. In the background to the left, another person in a leopard-print top is partially visible behind a market stall. Further into the left background, an individual in a red and white top and a yellow commercial tricycle are discernible, indicating a bustling street environment. Red market umbrellas provide shade overhead, with streaks of sunlight penetrating through the canopy on the right. Distant, weathered buildings are visible in the background, completing the market setting.
