DescriptionThe image depicts a group of standing figures, both male and female, clothed in robes and draped in mantles gathered around a male figure lying on a low pallet being draped and covered in cloth; one figure kneels at the foot of the pallet as he covers the body. The backdrop to the scene is the face of a rock wall in which, in the center, a doorway opening has been cut.
