The tree beside them has textured bark, broad clusters of leaves, and objects hanging from its branches including a quiver-like container and a strap; a woven square panel is attached to the trunk. The ground is rocky and uneven with scattered plants and small shrubs, and the distant background shows rolling land and distant vegetation under a sky with stylized clouds and linear shading. The figures display varied expressions and detailed musculature, and their garments and hair are rendered with fine cross-hatching and intricate line work.
