The store's exterior is adorned with colorful jars, amphoras, and pots, displaying an array of goods for sale. The shelves inside are stocked with an assortment of items, including cigarettes, which were popular during this era. The store owner, likely of Native or Arab descent, stands behind the counter, engaged in a conversation with a customer, while another man reaches for a jar on the shelf.
