The image shows two full-length figures standing close to each other. One figure on the left is standing facing forward with a slight lean to the side, wearing a flowing garment that covers the arms and legs. This figure's hair is styled and adorned with leaves. The facial features are softly carved with a composed expression. The other figure on the right appears to be in motion, with one foot lifted. This figure is garbed in a similarly draped fabric with an exposed leg, and the hair is depicted as swept back. Both figures are holding objects; the one on the left holds a branch, while the one on the right holds a sheaf of wheat. The background is a simple, textured surface.
