This painting shows a group of golden-robed figures with glowing halos, arranged in two rows. The top row has three people: one holding a round object, another holding a small child, and a third with wings. The bottom row has three more figures, two holding long scrolls and one with a book. The background is dark, and the edges look worn, like old wood. The figures all wear similar golden clothes, which makes them stand out against the dark background. Their faces are calm, and they seem to be looking forward. Look up cult object next to see how these kinds of images were used in religious traditions.
