Description: In the background the walled city of Ankara (Angora), in the center plane a landscape with men on horseback accompanied by (hunting) dogs on the left and a hunter, a horse caravan and a camel caravan crossing a bridge on the right. In the foreground, the various stages of wool production are shown. On the far right, angora goats are being sheared. Then we see from right to left the weaving of the wool by a drapenier, the washing and cooking of the wool, the weighing of the wool, the weighing again (possibly the inspection of the wool), the spinning and selling of the wool and a busy marketplace.
