Brief Description
A person rides a water buffalo in a river, with a deer and tree on the bank
Detailed Description
A river flows through the center of the image, rendered in shades of brown and tan, with visible wavy lines indicating water movement. In the foreground, a dark brown water buffalo is partially submerged in the river, facing right. A person sits astride the buffalo, holding a long, thin pole that extends upwards and to the right. The person wears light-colored clothing and has dark hair. To the right of the buffalo, on the sandy bank, a light brown, deer-like animal stands facing the buffalo. On the left side of the image, a large tree with dark green, downward-hanging foliage and a thick, gnarled brown trunk with exposed roots dominates the bank. The ground beneath the tree is green, sloping down to the river. In the background, across the river, gentle green hills rise against a lighter brown sky. The overall color palette is muted, featuring earthy browns, greens, and tans. In the bottom left corner, small, illegible red marks or seals are visible.
