Brief Description

Pencil drawing of a large horned creature, smaller figures on a platform, and five onlookers

Detailed Description

This is a monochrome pencil drawing on light-toned paper, depicting a dynamic scene with multiple figures. On the left, a large horned creature, resembling a lion or bull with a long tail, is positioned on a circular platform. It stands on its hind legs, leaning forward, with its front paws extended towards smaller figures. This creature has prominent horns, a mane, and wears a sash around its waist. Below its front paws, on the platform, are several smaller figures with horned heads and expressive faces. Some figures are positioned beneath the larger creature's paws, while others appear to be on the platform nearby. One figure's head is clearly visible, with large eyes and a grimacing mouth. To the right of the platform, a group of five standing figures faces the scene. These figures also have distinct facial features, including horns, beards, and wide eyes. They are depicted in various postures, some with hands clasped or raised. Their bodies are slender, and they wear simple garments. The background is largely unadorned, with faint, cloud-like shapes sketched above the main figures. In the upper left corner, there is a line of text written in an unfamiliar script: "मञ्जुश्रीवज्रभैरवः ॐ ह्रीः ठः". The drawing is executed with fine lines, showing details in the figures' anatomy, clothing, and facial expressions.
