Saffron Trader Weighing Spices at Dawn Market in beside a fish counter in Hohhot

Saffron Trader Weighing Spices at Dawn Market

by Howard Dale

Early autumn light falls through a low tungsten window, casting a warm amber glow across a narrow market aisle in Hohhot. A spice trader stands beside a fish counter, his hands resting on a tiny brass balance scale. Saffron threads, deep crimson and orange, sit in small piles on the scale's pan, against the dull metal. Steam and cooking smoke drift lazily through the air, partially obscuring the background shelves stacked with sacks of grain. The trader wears a heavy wool coat, suggesting the chill of the pre-dawn hours. The brass surface of the scale reflects the dim light, while the fish counter behind him glistens with moisture and ice. One shadow falls across the trader's boots on the concrete floor.
