A vertically oriented tempera and gold painting depicts people with light skin tones in a palace courtyard. At the bottom, three men look upward. Lower left, a man in yellow reaches into a cauldron over a fire. Right of him, figures in orange and yellow garments stand on a raised hexagonal platform. Receding into the background, arched walkways with blue floral patterns and multilevel buildings fill the scene at the top.
