Description

A person in a light cap and striped shirt sits on a wooden chair and works a wooden frame with a handle and a large wicker drum. Behind them a board is covered with small pale seeds or nuts, and two woven baskets stand against a dry-stone wall topped with roof tiles. Hills rise in the background, and more of the same pale seeds lie scattered on the ground in the foreground.
