Two men are shown standing on an irregularly shaped base and against a back support which terminates in two short pillars. The right man is the taller of the two. Each man has his left foot placed forward with his arms pendant and the hands clasping cloth amulets. Both men wear medium-length wigs which are parted in the middle and cover the ears. The wigs rest on the supports at the back. They are dressed in knee-length kilts with folded flaps, and belts which are only indicated at the front and have projecting tabs. The broad collars around their necks were once indicated in paint, but this has now virtually disappeared.
