The figure on the left wears a red turban and gold armlets and holds a gold implement; the figure on the right wears a tall ornate crown, a red and gold sari with rich jewellery. A brass oil lamp stands at the right edge, and red and orange cloth hangs in the background. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
