Brief Description

A multi-armed figure on a lion faces an army of human and animal-headed warriors

Detailed Description

The image is a monochrome line drawing on a light brown, rectangular sheet of paper, depicting a scene with a multi-armed figure and a large army. The drawing is primarily in black outline, with some figures on the left also outlined in a reddish-brown hue. On the right side of the composition, a standing, multi-armed figure is depicted atop a recumbent lion. The figure has a human-like head and torso, with at least ten arms extending from its shoulders. Each hand holds a distinct object or weapon, including an axe, a hammer, a sword, a bell, a pot, an arrow, and a bow. The figure wears a headdress and a long garment. The lion beneath it is shown in profile, facing left, with its mouth open. On the left side, a dense army of warriors is positioned facing towards the right. The army is composed of numerous figures, some appearing human and others with animal heads, such as dogs or boars. They are arranged in multiple rows, extending from the bottom left to the upper left. Many warriors carry clubs or spears. In the lower-middle left, several figures are shown riding horses and chariots, also moving towards the right. The figures in the foreground are larger and more detailed, while those in the background are smaller and less distinct. At the top center of the paper, the number "१०" is written. The paper has slightly ragged edges, particularly on the left side.
