A photograph of two life-size decorated statues of deities standing in a temple setting against a light stone wall. The taller figure on the left wears a multicoloured turban in orange, yellow and green, a green sash and a purple and gold-bordered skirt over an orange-gold lower cloth, and holds a small drum-like object in one hand while the other hand is raised in a gesture. The smaller figure on the right wears a red and gold blouse and skirt with a striped cap-like headdress, heavy necklaces and earrings, and holds one hand near her face. Both figures are adorned with jewellery and standing near a gold-coloured ritual vessel at the lower right. Nothing in the image shows a living person.
