Painting of a woman sewing a reed screen with diamond-shaped motifs in red, green, black, brown, yellow and purple. The screen is supported on a horizontal pole on two Y-shaped uprights with seven loom weights. The woman stands behind the screen, dressed in an orange headcloth and dress and a dark brown waistcoat and sleeveless tunic. Another woman with a small child on her back looks on. She is dressed in a long purple dress and a dark brown waistcoat and brown slippers with a white turban around a brown cap. Behind the woman is a yurt with a felt roof, a smoke hole flap and a rolled up felt door-flap; the roof is held in place by six crossed tent bands. The yellow reed walls are bound with a single brown tent base-girth. A pile of branches rests on the screen frame.
