A horizontally oriented ivory panel depicts five repetitive, stylized figures walking in profile toward the right. Each figure stands within an individual arched niche, wearing a pleated tunic and turban while carrying long staffs or small flasks. A repeating circle pattern borders the rectangular scene. The off-white surface is punctuated by metal pins and small holes along the edges, showing some age-related discoloration.
