DescriptionA central male figure, seated and shirtless, has his hands bound. Three male figures surround him; behind and to the left a standing figure with a red mantle draws back his right arm to strike the bound man with a weapon. To the right a standing figure wearing a black vest and red head scarf also holds a weapon. Kneeling to the left is a figure with his back to the viewer, his left arm is raised up, and his right arm rests on a large gold sphere. To the far left two figures can be seen in shadow, a woman and a child, the child with hands clasped as in prayer or pleading. The right lower corner has two large baskets.
