The back partition walls are decorated with framed pictures and posters, hanging flags, and a chalkboard leaning against a cabinet, with potted plants on a side shelf. Several groups of children are clustered around tubs and tables where they appear to be engaged with the objects on the tables, and a few older women stand among them watching. The foreground shows a long table covered with textiles and garment samples, with a small dress draped on a stand and papers displayed upright. The space includes wooden floorboards, chairs arranged near the walls, and various household items placed on shelves and surfaces.
