A horizontally oriented oil painting resembles a monochrome stone relief in warm beige. At our left, a man with a light skin tone carries a large vessel. At the center, a hooded, robed man extends a hand over a smoking altar near two youths, one playing a flute. To our right, two men with light skin tones lead a bull toward the altar, one carrying a double-headed axe over his shoulder.
