A framed printed picture of a painted diorama-style scene is displayed on a stone pedestal in a temple setting, with a green garland draped over its top edge. The image shows a reclining figure on a bed being attended by three standing figures and two seated figures with palms pressed together. Robed attendants are shown in red and blue clothing with blue turbans, and a small cow-like figure appears in the background near a shrine. No physical people are in the scene; the figures are depicted only in the printed image.
