The top section contains many overlapping sketches of demons. Most are in black ink, but a few are drawn in red ink. The bottom left section has two figures drawn in black ink. They are walking side-by-side and both appear to hold long spears. The bottom right section contains two sketches. The right sketch depicts two demons. One rides a horse and holds a spear. Another demon on foot appears to hold a spear as well. The left sketch depicts two demons; one appears to carry a large basket on their back. The background of the image appears to be aged paper with some darker splotches. A white border surrounds the image on the left and right sides.
