The image depicts a scene with two distinct sections. The top section shows a group of four people on a patterned rug. A woman sits on the left; she wears a green and white outfit and has dark hair. A man sits beside her on the right; he wears a white outfit. A man sits on a raised platform on the right; he wears a blue and white outfit and a crown-like headpiece. A man stands behind him; he is gray-skinned and wears an orange head covering and an orange and white garment. The bottom section shows a green field with two men. One man stands and holds his hands together near his face; he wears an orange and white garment. Another man stands to the right; he is gray-skinned and wears a red and white head covering, an orange and white garment, and holds a sword and shield. The entire image is bordered by yellowed paper with black writing.
