A vertically oriented gum tempera and gold painting depicts a figure with medium-dark skin in ornate gold and blue robes facing our left on a rearing black horse. Figures with medium-dark skin tones lie beneath the horse. To our right, soldiers carry spears topped with severed human heads. In the background, tall tan towers with blue and gold domes stand before a sky of swirling blue and purple clouds.
