Brief Description
Men on horseback and in an ox-cart, with cheetahs, hunt deer in a green, hilly landscape
Detailed Description
A light green landscape with scattered trees and hills depicts a hunting scene. On the far left, three men on horseback, dressed in tunics and turbans, ride towards the right. Below them, a man in a yellow tunic and turban sits in a two-wheeled cart pulled by two white oxen, driven by another man. Several other men on foot, also wearing tunics and turbans, are present. One man in a green tunic is shown mid-stride, pointing forward, while another in a yellow tunic kneels on the ground, looking upwards. Across the central and right portions of the scene, numerous animals are depicted. Several spotted cheetahs, light brown with black markings, pursue other animals. One cheetah is shown attacking a black antelope in the upper right. Other cheetahs run or crouch among the foliage. Various deer-like animals, including black antelopes, light brown gazelles, and smaller fawns, are scattered throughout the landscape. Some are running, some stand alert, and others appear to be resting. A dark blue pond with a grey bank is situated in the middle right of the composition. The ground is predominantly light green, with darker green and brown patches suggesting undulating terrain, and small green leafy trees are dotted across the entire scene.
