Detailed Description
A light-colored horse, possibly white or pale grey, rears on a light brown paper background. The horse is positioned centrally, with its head turned slightly to the right, mouth open, and mane visible. Thin dark lines form a bridle around its head. Its front legs are lifted, while its hind legs are planted firmly. Behind the horse, a dark, vertical pole extends from near the top of the horse's back down to its hindquarters. The background is extensively covered with numerous red and black seals of various shapes and sizes, including squares, rectangles, and circles. These seals are densely arranged, particularly on the left and right sides of the composition. Several columns of black ink text are visible, primarily in the upper right and upper center areas, with additional smaller sections of text scattered among the seals.
