The image shows seven individuals seated around a circular table set with various dishes. Most figures are visible from the waist up, with one person fully prostrate at the feet of another. Two figures have halos around their heads, with one emitting rays. The individuals have detailed facial features and various hairstyles, wearing long flowing robes. The prostrate figure seems to lean on the one with the halo. The table is filled with plates of food, and a seated figure holds a chalice. The background is plain, emphasizing the group at the table.
