A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting features bold, stylized outlines of two figures with medium skin tones. On our left, a man in a purple tunic and green scarf wears a feathered turban while placing a silver garland over the woman. Standing on our right, she wears a red sari with silver borders and looks down with her hands near her chest. Handwritten Bengali script lines the bottom edge.
