Silk Scarves at N'Djamena Spice Stall

by Jeanne Anthony

Deep shadow pools beneath a wooden table laden with mounds of turmeric, cumin, and dried chilies in N'Djamena. From directly above, a vendor's hands smooth vibrant silk scarves in crimson, indigo, and gold across the spice sacks. A sharp rim of early evening light traces the curve of the wooden bowl and the vendor's fingers, separating them from the dark surroundings. The cool season air hangs still over the clear sky above, while the textures of rough woven fabric contrast with the fine, powdery spices. Faint shadows from nearby structures fall across the scattered grains, at the base of the scene in the dense, crowded warmth of the bazaar. at the edge shows a single dried chili pod resting on the edge of a blue silk fold.
