Closer to the center a person kneels or bends low beside a cluster of animals lying on the ground; the animals are depicted in various sprawled postures with textured shading and visible limbs, and one animal appears to have its head turned toward the viewer. Toward the left a seated figure wrapped in cloth sits facing the horizon, holding or leaning against a long vertical staff. The overall image is rendered in delicate monochrome line work and etching-like shading across a broad empty sky and flat foreground.
