Black and white photograph showing three objects placed on a wooden table in the grounds of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, an institution run by the Methodist Missionary Society (formerly the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.) A male Nigerian worker stands behind the table. The caption to the image reads: "Coconut, tennis Ball and a fibroid growth." The growth was probably a benign tumour growth present in a woman's uterus. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara hospital.
