Brief Description

Pencil sketch of a large buffalo-like creature, a multi-armed figure on a lion, and warriors

Detailed Description

This monochrome pencil sketch on light-colored paper depicts a dynamic scene of conflict. On the left, a large, horned, buffalo-like animal with a thick body and a curled tail faces right. Above its back, several rounded, cloud-like or rock-like shapes are drawn. Below the buffalo's front legs, several small human-like figures are shown, some appearing to be fallen or trampled on the ground. On the right, a multi-armed figure is seated astride a lion that faces left. The figure holds various objects, including a curved sword, a spear, and what appear to be clusters of flowers or foliage. The lion has a distinct mane and a long tail that extends to the right. In the lower center, between the large animal and the lion, several smaller human-like figures are engaged in combat. One figure, standing with a shield and a spear, aims towards the buffalo. Another figure, lower and to the right, is depicted with a bow and arrow, aiming left. Other figures are on the ground, some appearing to be fallen or injured. Faint markings, including "१६३", are visible in the upper center of the drawing. The entire artwork is rendered in pencil lines on a light, uncolored background.
