A wool pile on a cotton foundation. A fully and elaborately caparisoned brown dromedary stands in the foreground with a woman and a boy, accompanied by a rooster, while a second dromedary in a pale straw tone kneels farther back. On the horizon appear mosque minarets, a tree, and a perching bird. The sandy ground is lightly striped beneath a red sky above. The green border shows repeating square modules composed of four flower heads.
