A woman in a blue embroidered top and blue skirt kneels on a grey carpet, bowing forward with her forehead near the base of a large polished brass standing statue.

Behind them is a curved maroon-panelled platform, chrome stanchions, a white bucket and cardboard boxes in an unfinished hall with bare plaster walls and a wood-panelled ceiling.
