Brief Description
Horizontal ink drawing of a procession of human-like and monstrous figures, some riding animals, moving rightward
Detailed Description
The horizontal ink drawing on light brown paper depicts a procession of various figures moving from left to right. On the far left, a circular red seal is visible. To its right, three bare-chested, muscular figures walk with their bodies angled and limbs extended. The leftmost figure wears a pointed hat and a loincloth, holding a curved staff over their shoulder. The next figure carries a large, round object on their back, holding a long stick horizontally. The third figure, similar in build, carries a large, flat, rectangular object on their back, also holding a stick. Further to the right, a small, dark-colored animal, possibly a donkey, carries two figures. The front rider is bare-chested and muscular, while the figure behind them is larger, robed, and wears a head covering. To the right of this animal, a larger, light-colored animal, possibly a camel or bovine, is ridden by a robed figure with a topknot, who holds a thin whip in their raised right hand. Behind this animal, a large, dark-colored, monstrous figure with a bulbous head and a patterned loincloth walks, holding a long, curved staff that extends towards the right edge of the frame. The entire scene is rendered in varying shades of dark gray and black ink, creating texture against the light brown background.
