Multiple figures on horseback playing a game with sticks and balls near two goal structures
Detailed Description
A scene depicts multiple figures on horseback playing a game against a plain, light tan background. Approximately ten riders, dressed in various colored garments including reds, blues, greens, and whites, are mounted on horses of different colors such as white, brown, and black. The horses are depicted in motion, with many appearing to gallop or leap, their legs extended and tails flowing. Each rider holds a long stick with a curved end, which they use to strike small white or red balls. These balls are scattered across the ground and in the air. On the far left, a blue and red goal structure stands, composed of three vertical panels. To its left, a figure in a blue robe is seated, appearing to play a drum or gong. On the far right, a similar red and white goal structure is visible, with another figure in a blue robe seated to its right, also seemingly playing an instrument. Faint, illegible text is present in the lower left corner.
