A blurry photograph of a projection screen showing a row of seven painted deity figures in arched frames, against a brown and gold band. Each figure stands or sits in a niche with ornate borders: the leftmost pair in blue and pink garments, the next in white, one in green with a crown, one in red, one seated in red and yellow, one in a white robe, and the last in yellow. Captions run along the bottom of the band. No physical people are visible in the scene; the figures are printed or projected images. The screen is shown from in front, with a dark frame at the left edge.
