The leftmost image is of two women mending fishing nets, the central panel depicts four women in headscarves talking together in front of a ship (perhaps a tribute to the Headscarf Revolutionaries), and the right image is of men working on ships and the dockside hauling fish, with a couple of children sat observing.
