The artwork is divided into two main sections: a top section with a brown background and a bottom section with a black background featuring a gold geometric pattern. In the top section, two figures are seated behind screens, with the figure on the left wearing a brown robe and a black hat with a feather tucked into it, and the figure on the right wearing a red robe and a gold crown. In the bottom section, two more figures are seated behind screens, with the figure on the left wearing a red robe and playing a drum, and the figure on the right wearing a red robe and a gold crown. At the bottom of the artwork, three animals are depicted: a brown animal on the left, a brown and green animal in the center, and a white animal on the right. The top of the artwork features a red and gold patterned border with two black tassels hanging from it.
