Detailed Description
A rectangular image features a central scene framed by a decorative border. The central scene depicts three men on horseback, engaged in a game with sticks and a small ball, set against a solid yellow background. From left to right, the first man rides a blue horse, facing right. He wears a light-colored tunic, a red turban, and holds a stick over his right shoulder. The horse has a red saddle and bridle. The second man rides a brown horse, facing right, in mid-gallop with all four hooves off the ground. He wears a white tunic and a white turban, and holds a stick forward, aiming at a small red ball on the ground. The horse has a red saddle. The third man rides a white horse, also facing right, in mid-gallop. He wears a light pink tunic and a dark cap, and holds a stick forward, aiming at a small red ball on the ground. The horse has a blue saddle. The ground beneath the horses is a thin strip of light blue, with some faint white vertical marks behind the first horse. The central yellow panel is bordered by a thin red line, then a thin blue line. The outer border features a cream-colored background adorned with a continuous vine pattern. This vine features green leaves, small red and blue flowers, and larger stylized floral motifs in blue, red, and green, symmetrically arranged around the central panel. The corners of the border have more elaborate, multi-colored leaf designs.
