Rows of worshipers carved on the vertical surfaces along the stairs descending toward the central panel are uniformly depicted with a short beard, braided hair ending in a knob, and a knee-length garment cinched in by a belt. All hold their hands clasped in front of the waist in a gesture of worship.
