A robed figure with a staff faces two horned animals against a dark background
Detailed Description
A monochromatic image depicts a robed figure on the left facing two horned animals on the right, set against a dark, indistinct background. On the far left, the figure is seated or kneeling, wearing loose, flowing robes and a head covering that resembles a pointed hat or hood. They hold a long, thin staff or stick that extends towards the animals. The background behind the figure features dark, organic shapes that could be rocks or tree branches. To the right of the figure, a large, dark horned animal is prominent, with long, curved horns. Its head is turned towards the figure, and its eyes appear to glow or be highlighted. Its body is largely silhouetted and indistinct. Further to the right, a second, smaller horned animal is partially visible, facing right and bending its head downwards. It also has horns, though they are shorter and less defined than those of the first animal. The overall composition is dark. In the bottom right corner, the text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1923" is visible.
