The image depicts a rhinoceros standing on a dirt surface, facing right. The rhinoceros is large, with a bulky body covered in scales, and a distinctive horn on its nose. The body is segmented into sections with different patterns of scales. A large plate-like section on its back features a detailed design. The legs are short and end in large feet. The rhinoceros' body is shown with detailed wrinkles and folds on its skin. A text in Latin, "Rhinoceros," appears to the right of the animal, and another text appears in the upper left corner. The background of the image is a light-colored surface with some darker shading to indicate ground. A border surrounds the image and text.
