Lengths of silk are wound in neat bundles along the center of the machines. Two women are standing in the right of the photograph removing a hank of silk from a frame and hanging it on a peg. One woman is in a long coat and headscarf, the other is in a skirt, sweater, and embroidered hat. A banner is hung at the back of the high-ceilinged factory room.
