Nine water buffalo, brown and gray, on a light ground with vertical text
Detailed Description
Nine water buffalo are arranged across a light background. The ground beneath them is a pale tan, with sparse dark specks suggesting patches of grass or dirt. The buffalo vary in color, including shades of light tan, gray, dark brown, reddish-brown, and black. At the far left, a light tan buffalo with curved horns faces right. To its right, a gray buffalo and a lighter tan buffalo stand, both facing right. Behind them, a dark brown buffalo with its back to the viewer and a lighter brown buffalo with its head down are positioned. Further right, a reddish-brown buffalo faces right, while a dark black buffalo with prominent horns stands behind it, also facing right. At the far right, two dark gray and black buffalo stand, one facing right and the other facing left. All buffalo have large, curved horns. Vertical lines are visible across the light background, possibly indicating folds. Several columns of dark, vertical text are interspersed among the buffalo, appearing above and between them.
