Color facsimile painting showing several nude figures participating in fish-related activities and preparing items associated with fishing, with stacked fish displayed and fish being handled or processed. Two separate scenes appear within a single framed composition: left figures lifting hands above heads, and right figures working near a large seated/standing worker and arranged fish.

The image is a framed, polychrome scene on paper/board rendered in a style consistent with a modern facsimile. On the left, a row of five nude human figures with dark hair and red/orange skin tones stand facing right; three raise both arms overhead. Each figure has a white kilt-like garment and some hold or wear fish-net or fish-related elements near the lower body; their posture suggests preparation or handling equipment rather than worship. In the center, multiple fish are depicted in stacked, repeating rows (blue/gray bodies with orange detailing), laid out over pale background. On the right, a red/orange-toned figure sits or stands with legs extended/angled, holding or working on fish, with additional fish arranged above and a pale rectangular area with blue-green ornamental motifs (triangular/feather-like shapes) near the lower right. A strip of decorative patterning borders the top; the composition is otherwise focused on fish display and handling. No clear hieroglyphic text is legible in the depicted areas, and no cartouches or royal names are visible.
