Yellowed paper with a rectangular drawing in the center. The drawing depicts a man in a blue and beige outfit, with a head covering, holding an object in his hands. He stands on a hill, under a tree. A kneeling figure with their hands on the ground is to the left. An animal resembling a dog or a wolf is on the right. The man and the kneeling figure face each other. The background of the drawing shows another tree, rocks and grass. The rectangular drawing has a thin inner border and is surrounded by a wider decorative border with floral and geometric patterns. The decorative border includes eight-pointed stars and four-petaled flowers. Text in a foreign script is at the top of the drawing.
