Detailed Description
The image depicts a horizontal procession of figures and animals against a plain, light background. On the far left, a group of figures in white and green garments are pulling a large, ornate green carriage with black wheels. The carriage has a patterned green canopy and a white interior visible through an opening. One figure in a tan robe is positioned near the front wheel, appearing to guide or push it. To the right of the carriage, several figures in white robes with red sashes and tall black hats walk forward. Two of these figures carry white flags or banners on poles. Further to the right, two figures are mounted on brown horses. Both riders wear dark robes and tall black hats. The horses are adorned with red and white decorative elements. The horse in the foreground is slightly larger and more detailed. On the far right, a single figure in a brown and green robe with a tall black hat walks alongside the horses. The figures and animals are rendered in a stylized manner with clear outlines and flat areas of color. The overall composition moves from left to right across the frame.
