Both are wearing blue protective gloves and examining a large, irregularly shaped object that appears to be a stone or plaster artifact with textured surfaces. One person is wearing a dark patterned vest over a shirt, while the other has a light-colored sweater and a lanyard with an ID badge. A window with orange shutters and a flip chart are visible in the background, along with a wall-mounted information plaque.
