The seated figures wear a mix of loose garments and patterned cloth, some draped over shoulders, and some wear necklaces; several have short hair and one wears a patterned cloak and a cap while another has a shawl wrapped around the shoulders. Two children sit among the adults wearing simple dresses and closed shoes, and most of the seated figures have their hands resting in their laps or on their knees. The ground in front of the bench is bare earth with a textured surface, and the overall image has a muted, monochrome tonality.
