Description
This picture presents two swomen standing weaving with a tsikriki, a type of a double distaff with a wooden tyre. The oldest in age figure in the centre strains the thread that is wrapped in the palmsof the youngest on the right. They are wearing long dresses and their legs are bare. Characteristic is the outline designing of subjects, while the horizontal paratactic placement of forms o n level space reminds of nural freize. The rectangle openings in the background and the department of railing in the end on the right constitute schematic, but explicit determinations of the interior of the house.
