A young woman with dark hair tied back sits cross-legged on a pale floor, wearing a light grey t-shirt and black track pants with yellow stripes, and silver and black bangles on her wrists. She is threading small dark red-brown beads onto a thin string, holding a bead between her fingers. Small white plastic cups hold beads, and loose beads are scattered on the floor, with a finished strand partly visible on the right. A second person in a blue-and-white striped garment sits at the lower edge, and another seated person in blue appears at the top left. The setting looks like a hall for bead-stringing.
