A still life featuring traditional objects arranged against an ornamented felt carpet. At the centre hangs a dombra, a traditional musical instrument; in the foreground is a malakhai, a traditional headdress. The composition is based on the combination of flat ornamental motifs and object forms. The colour palette is contrasting, dominated by red, blue, and light tones.
