A monochromatic photograph depicting the exterior of a large, linear open-air structure constructed from a skeletal framework of natural poles. The structure features a pitched roof frame and is elevated on vertical posts. Inside, horizontal platforms and shelving units display a variety of local produce, including furniture, Igbo figures and stools, pottery, calabashes, and baskets. A group of men stands at the left periphery of the frame. The image is a gelatin silver print from a collection of photographs documenting indigenous and European settlements and trading stations.
