Description

Physical Description:

Printed in black, a male and female lion sit around a table with a bottle, a glass, and two long guns, a video camera pointed at them from the right. A rhinoceros on a leash is next to the female lion, and the leash is held by a figure in the background wearing a safari hat with a bird on top. The figure is smoking a cigar and holding a glass next to a bottle. On a stage, a figure holding a glass rides a horse behind an alligator or crocodile.
