Detailed Description
A crowded scene unfolds against a dark background with a hilly landscape. On the far left, two figures in long, flowing robes, one pink and one white, stand facing right. Next to them, a figure in golden armor with a red shield and a spear stands. Behind these figures, a small town with white buildings is visible on a reddish-brown hill. Towards the center, a dense group of figures is engaged in physical conflict. Several figures wear blue or light-colored armor and carry shields. One figure lies on the ground, dressed in red and yellow garments. Small, dark green trees and bushes are scattered across the middle ground. On the right side, figures continue to engage in physical conflict. A nearly nude figure with a glowing circle around their head is being pulled by several other figures up a dark, rocky hill. Another figure in red pants and golden armor, holding a spear, stands in the foreground. Further back, another small town with white buildings crowns a distant hill.
