DescriptionLooking through an architectural arch, four male figures dressed in robes with cloth headdresses unload camels to display items. To the left a man still on a camel hands down a vase to a standing figure with his back turned to the viewer. To the right of them is a standing figure holding up a large textile with coins piled on the ground in front. In the center, another standing figure holds up a jug. To the far right, in shadow, are a group of figures dressed as soldiers, the front figure having a sword hanging from his belt. The background is the wall of a building with three distinct arches.On View
