In this print, three women are shown from the waist up, standing closely together. The central woman faces us with a slight smile, while the two women on either side are turned toward the center. The three women are holding hands, with the central woman's wrists crossed over her chest. All three women have brown skin and black hair, and wear garments with varying patterns in white and green. The woman on the left has short curly hair and wears a green garment with round, white, mandala-like shapes, and she has a small gold earring in her ear. The woman in the center has straight hair that falls around her ears and wears a V-neck garment with thin green and white crosshatched lines and white flower patterns. The woman on the right has her hair in a bun on the top of her head, with short, straight bangs across her forehead. She wears a green garment with white rings and flowers and has a large, round, golden earring in her ear. Behind the women, the background is gold, and at the top of the print is a line of layered green leaves.
