Jane and Marcel are in matching outfits, a nod to their equal partnership.
She has a whip at her side, which she was known to carry around mostly to prevent people from running off with her archaeological finds.
In the background, as comic relief, are three helper guys, all virtually identical with different color schemes, much like Huey, Dewey, and Louie. One is refusing to work, and another is threatening him with a trowel.
The camel is helping excavate the Lion Frieze of Susa – that’s actually what it looked like.
In the background you can see a tent city for all the people helping them.
