A vertically oriented ink and color painting on paper depicts a yellow-skinned figure riding a reddish-brown, four-legged creature. Facing right, the figure wears a green top and raises a curved blade. Multicolored stylized flowers with circular petals crowd the background around them. Below, the creature faces left, its long tail marked with black stripes. A broad red border with hatched line-work frames the colorful, dense composition.
