Three life-sized deity figures, possibly puppets or dolls, stand in a row against a pink backdrop. The left figure wears a black and gold crown with red jewels, a golden-orange garment and a heavy red and white beaded necklace with a red gemstone pendant. The centre figure has a red jeweled headdress, a green skirt with a gold sash and a gold-and-red jeweled shoulder garland. The right figure, partly cropped, wears a gold headdress and ornate jewelry. These are statues, not living people, so no physical people are present.
