In the image, both tellers and customers can be seen inside the bank's lobby. Three rectangular columns in the lobby support a ceiling featuring four (4) rows of circles, while a barrier separates the tellers from the customers. This barrier is black at the bottom and white at the top, with a narrow, tiled band in the middle. On one side, patrons, many of whom carry briefcases and are dressed in business attire, can be seen, while only the heads of three tellers are visible on the other side.
