DescriptionThe image is executed as a history painting depicting a battle scene in which the central figure, clothed in a golden headdress, breastplate, loin skirt, blue cape, and sandals, raises his right arm with a sword in his hand and holds his left arm in front of him with a shield. The central figure faces, to the right, a standing figure clothed in a cheetah costume complete with head. The foreground and middle ground are filled with warrior figures; in the distance a valley can be seen created by two hills.
