A vertically oriented tempera and gold painting depicts a yellow tent under a patterned orange canopy. At the center, a king and woman sit on a platform. To their left, a pale, haloed figure gestures toward them. Several men with white head coverings gather around a central fire; one reads a scroll. To our right, a servant in pink robes holds a tray. The scene is enclosed by a gold-speckled red border.
