Two silhouetted figures stand side by side at the centre: the left figure wears a reddish-pink draped garment and tilts its head, while the right figure wears a white robe and a cap, leaning toward the other. A dark rectangular structure resembling a temple doorway or shrine stands at the left edge of the screen. No physical people are visible; the figures are projected images on the cloth.
