Brief Description
Large, light brown figure attacked by archers and monkey-like figures in two horizontal scenes
Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular image features a red border and is divided into two distinct horizontal sections. The upper section, set against a red background, depicts a scene of conflict. A large, light brown, human-like figure lies horizontally in the center, facing right, with its mouth open and multiple black arrows piercing its body. It wears a yellow cloth with black patterns around its waist. Surrounding this central figure are several smaller attackers. To the left, a dark-skinned figure with a yellow conical hat and loincloth aims a bow and arrow at the large figure. Above it, a lighter-skinned figure, similarly attired, also shoots an arrow. A dark-skinned figure with a white snout and yellow loincloth stands to the far left, holding a weapon. Below the large figure, a light-skinned monkey-like creature with a tail attacks its side. To the right, a dark-skinned figure in a white loincloth kicks the large figure's head, while an upside-down, light-skinned monkey-like figure with a patterned loincloth also attacks from above. The lower section, set against a dark blue-black background, shows a different scene with several light-skinned monkey-like figures. On the far left, a green tree with a rounded canopy and a brown trunk stands prominently. To its right, a monkey-like figure carries a large, light brown, irregular object over its shoulder. Another figure further right carries a long, rectangular, light-colored object. In the foreground, two monkey-like figures run towards the right; one wears a purple loincloth and holds a stick, while the other wears a red loincloth and carries a spear. Other monkey-like figures are scattered throughout this lower section, engaged in various activities, some carrying objects.
