She sits on top of a large creature with a long snout, large ears, and a long tail. The creature appears to be a tapir or similar animal. The woman holds a torch with a red flame in her right hand. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the image. The background of the image is a light-brown color, suggesting aged paper.
