A horizontally oriented ink and color painting on paper depicts figures with light skin tones wearing muted red and blue clothing. At left, a man lunges right, swinging a curved object overhead. At right, four figures engage in a scuffle: one swings a beaded string while another falls toward our right; two others are on the ground. Patterned fabric borders the top and bottom, and a red seal sits in the lower right.
