A woman with hair in a bun and a small vertical tilak on her forehead stands at a black satin-draped table, bending forward and looking down at a small arrangement of colourful stones on the cloth, including a green, a blue, a white and an orange-brown piece. She wears a white sari with gold zari border and brocade, a gold ring and gold bangles. Behind her is a large printed backdrop of a green hillside with mountains and a golden grassy field, beside a golden statue fragment at the left edge. A blue fabric-covered base sits along the lower backdrop.
