Write a detailed description of a dreary scene inside a shop with a counter, birdcage and a tapestry.

The austere surroundings are softened only by a single tapestry hung on the back wall of the shop. A heavily carved maoral counter rests in front of the tapestry, tended by a tonsured clerk in dark brown robes. The unremitting dullness of the chamber is allieviated only by a birdcage resting atop the counter, within which a bright yellow canary sings cheerfully.
