Detailed Description
A vertical, black and white image depicts a mountainous landscape teeming with various creatures. The top quarter of the image contains a block of vertical, illegible text arranged in columns. Below the text, a mountainous landscape unfolds with rocky peaks, sparse trees, and numerous animals. In the upper section, two dark birds fly above a craggy outcrop on the left, where a large, dark, bird-like creature with a prominent, fanned tail stands. To the right, a crane stands on a rock, while below it, a large bird with a long, flowing, fanned tail is perched. Further right, another dark, fanned-tail bird is partially visible. The mid-section features a large, horned, dragon-like creature with a flowing mane and tail, descending a slope on the left. Below it, a smaller, horse-like creature with a rider is depicted. The landscape here is denser with dark, textured trees and rugged rock formations. On the right, another winged creature with a long, flowing tail is seen amidst the foliage. The lower section continues the rocky, forested terrain. Numerous feline-like creatures, some resembling tigers or lions, are scattered across the slopes in various active poses. Some have elaborate, curly manes and tails. One creature on the far left has a deer-like body with a feline head. Another on the lower right has a long, slender body and tail. The ground is uneven and rocky, with sparse vegetation. The entire artwork is rendered in shades of black, white, and gray, utilizing strong brushstrokes to define forms and textures.
