The left figure wears an ornate crown with a sunburst halo, a broad necklace and armlets, and holds a staff-like object with a finial in one hand and a small lotus-like item in another. The right figure, slightly behind, has a similar tall crown and sunburst, wears a patterned waist cloth and holds a pot-like vessel.
