The image features a large painting of a central figure and two smaller figures. The central figure sits cross-legged on a pedestal with hands resting on knees. He wears a dark robe with a red shawl draped over the left shoulder. A large halo surrounds his head and body. Two smaller figures stand on either side, wearing long dark robes with red shawls. Their hands are clasped or holding objects. The background is dark brown with lighter borders on either side. The borders have a pinkish hue and thin gold detailing. A thin pinkish strip runs across the top.
