Four men wrestle on a maroon ground, below a dark blue-gray band and a text panel
Detailed Description
A rectangular painting shows two pairs of men wrestling on a maroon ground. At the top, a black band is bordered by thin white, black, yellow, and red lines. Above this band, a white panel displays black text: "॥ मल्लवधगाउला ॥". The main scene features four figures. On the left, a light-skinned man with a mustache and topknot, wearing a red and white patterned loincloth, grapples with a blue-gray skinned man. The blue-gray skinned man wears a yellow and white patterned loincloth, a sheer white skirt, and an elaborate gold crown with a peacock feather motif. Both men lean forward in a close hold. To the right, a light-skinned man with a mustache and topknot, wearing a dark green and white patterned loincloth, is bent over with his head down. He is held by another light-skinned man wearing a red and white patterned loincloth, a sheer white skirt, and an elaborate gold crown with a peacock feather motif. The ground is a solid maroon, bordered at the bottom by a white and red patterned strip. The background above the wrestling figures is also solid maroon, transitioning to a dark blue-gray band at the very top, separated by a thin white line.
