Vertical painting on animal hide depicting five human figures. Three of the figures are seated around a basket-like table. The other two figures are standing behind the seated figures, and the one standing on the left side is holding a candle-like object. Above the standing figure on the right is Ethiopian text. All of the figures are dressed in white, but the three sitting figures have different coloured accents as well: the left figure has blue accents; the centre, green; and the right, red. There are thin red lines along the upper and left sides of the front of the skin. There is a small numbered label written in ink on the bottom right of the back of the skin.
