The priest on the left and right hold brass ritual items, and the central figure holds a small lamp or offering. The setting is a carved wooden or metal temple doorway with a dim interior behind them. Three physical people are visible; no identifiable candidate for a person is distinguishable by appearance, so the role of each is described as priest.
