This mural offers us a clearer view of Manichaean priests, and gives us more of an idea about their appearance and dress during worship. Consistent between this painting and those that appear in the manuscripts are shoulder-length hair, beards and moustaches (though these seem to have been less uniform), and the ubiquitous tall white hat and white robes. An unexplained difference between the two clerics depicted here is the markedly darker pigment with which the face of the left-hand priest has been depicted, versus the paler complexion of his companion on the right; this may be intended to indicate differing ethnic backgrounds for the two priests, though we cannot know for certain.

Behind the seated priests we see architectural elements included in the background. This suggests that the figures are seated in a hall of some kind, probably a place of worship, considering the presence of their robes and the formality of their poses, and their clasping of their hands before their chests in a gesture of prayer.
