A medium shot shows an older African woman sitting on the ground in a sandy area preparing food. She is wearing a colorful patterned dress and a dark blue headscarf. She has a blue plastic bucket next to her that contains a pale-colored batter. She is using a spoon to scoop some batter from the bucket and then transferring it into a frying pan on the ground, where there is a fire burning. To the left of the bucket is a metal bowl containing fried plantains, with a slotted spoon resting on top. There are also other small items scattered on the ground around her.
