The image shows two individuals from the waist up. The figure on the left faces the viewer, with distinct facial features and angular headwear. They wear draped fabric and raise their hands towards the middle of the image. The figure on the right is seen in a profile view, facing the left figure, with wavy hair and a crown made of curved elements. They appear shirtless, displaying muscular shoulders and a back with linear etching. The background features radiating lines emphasizing the figures, especially around the head of the right figure, creating a halo effect.
