Gold-coloured steps and a small oil lamp sit at the base, with fruit and a garland-wrapped basket visible at the edges. A partially visible person with grey hair stands in the lower right foreground, and another white-clad figure appears at the far left edge. The setting looks like a temple or hall with a dark curtain behind.
