They each have the same ovoid halo around their head. The central figure's halo is smaller. Each figure sits on a platform and has their hands on their lap. Their legs are crossed. Each figure beside him wears a crown. The figures are outlined and accented with gold. There are inscriptions along the bottom. The ends of the artwork are darkened. The corners are dark.
