A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a sacrificial procession with figures in white against a tan background. To our left, a man carries a vessel past flute-playing youths toward a smoking altar. A central bearded man in long robes stands behind the altar. To our right, two muscular men lead a bull, one carrying an axe. All have light skin tones. Tall pillars and a gold frame enclose the scene.
