He is wearing long beads going down to his waist and a beautifully detailed dress garment. His garments have etchings of dragons, the sun and water. These etchings were rubbed with black ink to show the detail.His other hand is holding a sword which rests by his side. The woman wears a headress of a bird with the tail feathers going down the back of her hair.
