The reeling man wears nothing except a pair of short bathing-drawers, and a scarf or cloak (? chlamys) hanging behind his back and fastened round his neck by a knot. The slighter and perfectly sober man on the left is decently dressed in long drawers extending to his ankles, and a close-fitting tunic reaching below his knees. Both of the women are clad in a short tunic coming down a little below the waist, and possibly also in a long skirt. Each holds a piece of loose drapery across her legs. The woman on the left has it thrown over her left arm in the fashion adopted by some of the Gandhāra Bodhisattvas. Both women are adorned with heavy Indian anklets, armlets, and collars.
