The image shows a person reclined on a chair inside a cave. The person is lying on their back with knees slightly bent and head tilted upwards. They have long hair, wear a draped garment, and have a halo above their head. A vessel or urn is nearby on a stone surface. Light enters through an opening in the cave.
