Behind is a young woman dressed in a red headscarf and a blue dress, playing a flute. She is riding a camel with a striped saddle cloth over a wooden frame. A small child dressed in a red cap, white shirt and brown trousers clasps her waist from behind. The riders are travelling across steppe with green, purple and yellow vegetation.
