A square tapestry depicts a crowded outdoor scene with people with light skin tones wearing muted blue and gold garments. Central, a woman sits in a wheeled carriage beneath a parasol. To the left, a man crouches near birdcages while others stand on a raised platform under palm trees. At the right, tiered buildings rise in the background. A gold leaf-patterned border frames the scene, featuring a coat of arms at the top.
