A horizontally long tapestry depicts three women gathering flowers on our left while three men wearing armor watch on our right. Behind sprawls a building made up of continuous archways and surrounded by greenery. Around the border, panels with women reclining alternate with fruit and foliage. All people featured have light skin tones. A tree trunk separates the women from the men, with more people in the background, soldiers clustered to the right, behind the men.
