A vivid view of the courtyard of the Silk Khan in Bursa. The print shows dwellers of the Khan who are mainly silk traders and producers of floss as well as customers. Some traders are sitting and standing under the trellis, while two producers of floss who are in their distinguished Manav Turk costumes are chatting with two other traders. The minaret of the Great Mosque is seen as well as pieces of silk and baskets of floss
