Neaga Ionașcu is depicted wearing an Ottoman-style turban and a silk dress, fastened with a girdle fastened with gold paftale. Her neck is adorned with seven strings of beads, four strings of red coral and a delicate saltire of gold coins to match her earrings. This depiction attests to her belonging to the upper echelons of society and the quality in which she is represented as 'the wife of Ionașcu of Slatina'.
