Inside the archway are several people in long dresses and robes, some sitting and others standing. A woman in a long dress and head covering sits on the left, holding her head in her hand. Another woman sits on the right, looking down. In the background, there is a large building with many windows and arches. Below the archway is a semicircular relief with several people on it.
