An individual's dark-skinned hand grasps a single ear of corn, held vertically, in Wuinta, Ghana. The corn cob is densely packed with kernels, predominantly deep red, interspersed with irregularly distributed off-white kernels, some exhibiting a bicolor red and white pattern. The fibrous, dried apex of the cob is visible. The hand, seen from the palm side, displays visible skin texture and appears to be dusted with fine particles. The out-of-focus background depicts an agricultural environment: large piles of dried corn husks and plant debris are visible, particularly on the right. The ground on the left is dry, with scattered fallen leaves, and a partially visible, metallic, bowl-shaped object is situated in the upper left background.
