The screen features a dark-stained wooden frame. The top edge of the panels exhibits a distinctive serpentine or ogee profile. The two panels are connected by a central hinge.

The outer upright supports are decorated with stylized geometric cutouts consisting of vertical slats and recessed circular or swirl motifs.
