The image features two handcrafted figurines made from yarn and fabric mounted on a cork base. The figure on the left is adorned in a green top with a floral and plaid patterned skirt, and a checkered shawl, carrying a woven basket on her head. The figure on the right is dressed in a red and black plaid top, blue pants, and a black belt, holding two woven baskets in its arms. Both figures have painted faces with rosy cheeks, conveying a sense of liveliness and cultural richness. A small label reading "Portuguese fisherman couple" is attached to their base.
