The image shows two full-body figures standing closely together. Both individuals are leaning slightly, facing each other in a side profile view, positioned near the edge of a stone entryway. The man on the left has defined facial features with a beard and short hair, while the person on the right has a broader face and short hair. Both are wearing long, heavy robes. The individual on the left holds a dark-colored object that appears to be a bag with a string, while the other holds a similarly shaped object in their arms. The figures stand on a stepped stone platform with their feet visible, wearing simple footwear. The background features a finely etched wall made of large stone blocks, with diagonal lines shading the area above them.
