The ascetics wear long robes and have long hair. The panel features a decorative border with geometric patterns separating the ascetics from the profiles. The top row of profiles consists of seven figures; the bottom row consists of three figures. A decorative geometric pattern strip borders the top and bottom of the panel. The background behind the panel is gray. The work of art is titled "Seated Ascetics".
