Regular markets are held in most African towns or villages, providing an opportuntiy for individuals to trade and sell their fresh produce and make a living. The prehistoric baobab tree, depicted in the background of the artwork, is an icon of the African savannah. Baobab trees can provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, which is why several remote African communities make homes near Baobab trees
