The image depicts a colorful illustration of a wedding scene. A woman in a blue headscarf and purple dress sits on a raised platform, facing a man in a green robe. He sits cross-legged with one leg folded under the other. To his right, a man in a purple shirt and orange pants holds a goblet. On the left, two men and a woman stand near the platform. In the foreground, four men sit on the ground, one holding a plate of food, another a goblet, and a third a censer. Behind them are several clay pots. The background features a building with arches and a red curtain. The scene is framed by a gold border.
