A vertically oriented drawing depicts six people under a canopy, all with light skin tones. In the center, a man in a feathered turban and a woman sit facing each other over a cross-shaped game board. In the background, two women stand, one waving a cloth and the other holding a horn. Two more women sit in the lower corners. Delicate lines and red ochre underdrawing define the scene.
