The rubbing underneath is of the 4 girls. They have slightly different heights but are lined up and crowded but not as much as the boys. You can see most of all of the girls. They also all look similar. They all have long hair with jeweled headbands on. Their hands are praying and they are looking to the left. They have square cut neck long dresses with tight sleeves and. They also have belts with a floral type belt buckle. There is very little pleating in the dress.
