Detailed Description
A horizontal image shows a procession of numerous figures, some on horseback, against an off-white background. The image is framed by a dark blue border with a repeating pattern of lighter blue shapes. The procession moves from left to right, arranged in multiple rows. In the upper left, a figure in a blue robe and red hat stands on a brown horse, playing a long, light-colored flute. Behind and around this figure are several other individuals in blue or yellow vests over light-colored tunics, all wearing red hats. In the upper middle and right, more figures walk, some carrying large, ornate banners with red and yellow designs, possibly depicting dragons. Two more figures are mounted on horses, one brown and one white, both with green saddles. The figures' clothing primarily consists of blue, yellow, and black garments, often with red hats. In the lower section, a long row of figures walks, each carrying a smaller, rectangular banner with a red and yellow design. These figures are dressed similarly to those above, in blue or yellow vests and red hats. On the far right, a vertical yellow rectangle contains black text, which reads: "正黃旗德印". Below the figure on the horse playing the flute, a smaller vertical rectangle with black text reads: "跑馬吹笛".
