A horizontally oriented painted earthenware tile depicts robed figures against a mottled gray and tan background. On the left, faint black and red lines outline two standing figures and a smaller seated figure. A thin, red tree with bare branches separates them from a larger figure leaning forward on the right. The scene is recessed between thick horizontal borders, showing significant surface wear and faded pigments across the rectangular surface.
