Three figures with dark faces, white pinprick eyes and golden halos, painted on a cream brick wall inside two arched doorways set in painted stone buildings with towers. The tallest wears a pale robe with a rosary and a flower-patterned shawl; the middle figure holds a dark book; a smaller figure sits below holding a crook. Top left, a painted signboard reads 'Hicks' and 'ed_hicks'.
