A vertically oriented tempera painting with a wide red border depicts a tiered landscape. In the upper register, a black elephant leaps across green hills among grazing deer. In the middle, Krishna, holding a shield, and two figures with light skin tones stand near a brown horse and flowering tree. Lower, a figure in a red robe gesticulates toward another riding a white horse. Persian and Devanagari script appear at the top.
