A square tapestry depicts people with light skin tones wearing muted blues and tans. Central, soldiers kneel to drink from a stream. At the right, a tall man in blue and gold armor stands holding a long staff, a smaller armored figure half his size beside him. Tents and more soldiers fill the background. A wide border frames the central image, containing twelve oval scenes featuring small figures.
