The tapestry depicts a vibrant scene of people engaged in various activities. In the foreground, two men are wading through water, one holding a net and the other a long pole. A third man stands on the left side of the image, wearing a red hat and a blue tunic. To the right of the image, a group of people are gathered near an ornate stone pillar. A woman in a blue dress and a man in a red and blue outfit are positioned centrally, surrounded by others. In the background, a stone building with archways and a clock face is visible. The scene appears to be set in a medieval or Renaissance-style town, with people dressed in period clothing. The tapestry is framed by a black border.
