A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. An elaborately turbaned woman in half-length looms over looms over a meditating smaller male figure seated beneath a palm tree. Black ground. Foreground hills, and mosque domes and minarets. Dream-like contrast of earthly temptations and religious contemplation.
