A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts a stylized tan horse facing right, its body encased in an intricate web of thin white lines. Four spindly humanoid figures with small round heads rise from the animal's back. The horse has multiple jointed legs and a long tail. The scene is set against a muted gray and blue-gray background accented by three thick black horizontal bands across the lower section.
