Four doll-like figures are arranged in a row. Each figure is standing upright and displaying its entire body. They have a similar appearance with distinct facial features. Their faces are painted with tribal markings, emphasizing eyes and mouth openings. They have round heads topped with dark hair resembling feathers and stripes across their faces and bodies. The dolls are clothed in vibrant cloth coverings, with two sporting red skirts with blue accents and the other two adorned in patterned wraps tied around the waist. Some of the figures have beads or ornamental strings hanging from their ears. The background is plain and off-white, highlighting the colorful attire and painted features of the dolls.
