Roasted Chestnuts in Woven Basket Ogbomosho Kitchen

Pale morning light falls through a window, bouncing off the soft cream walls of a kitchen in Ogbomosho to illuminate a rustic woven basket. Inside, a pile of chestnuts rests in their rough, reddish-brown shells, their surfaces catching the diffuse glow. The dry season air is still, leaving the floor beneath the basket clear and dust-free, with muted reflections of the basket's rim visible on the polished surface. Simple wooden furniture edges frame the composition, showing the domestic stillness. The texture of the woven fibers contrasts with the smooth, hard shells of the nuts, creating a quiet, tactile arrangement that speaks of late morning preparation.
