Description

Physical Description:

A light sketch of a large procession of men and animals walking from the right to the left of the scene. The first few men walking are holding instruments and playing while walking. As the scene continutes, men and beast walk together; some of the animals seen are a boar, a ram, dogs and an elephant outfitted with a decorative covering and carrying a large vessel. In the background a building with columns sits on a tree-crovered hilly landscape.
