This figure wears a white shirt with gold details and a darker vest. The figure is seated on a pink patterned seat. The figure on the left wears a white headdress and a white cloth draped over the right shoulder; the figure holds a bow and arrows in the left hand and a spear in the right hand. The figure on the far right wears a white cloth around the waist and a necklace; the figure holds a red and white cloth in the left hand and a spear in the right hand. The background shows a black-lined square with a cloud-like design behind the central figure. In the foreground, there are two clay vases and a basket with green, red, and orange leaves. The artwork edges are rough and torn.
