Description

A person in a white headscarf and striped smock sits on a rush-seated wooden chair beside a large wicker-drum device, hands working at its wooden frame. Small pebbles or seeds are spread on the ground at lower left, and large woven baskets stand near a stone wall topped with roof tiles. Hills rise in the background.
