Four figures are depicted in the image. One central figure is seated, surrounded by three others. The seated figure has shoulder-length hair, a halo around their head, and wears long robes. The other figures are standing and appear to be interacting with the seated figure. They are all dressed in period attire with tunics and cloaks. A jug is placed on the platform near the seated figure. The background shows drapery or a tent-like structure. There is script at the bottom of the image.
