This print shows an ornate design featuring three people in the center. In the middle is a woman with a long, draped dress and curling hair, holding a bow in one hand and what may be a cylindrical quiver in the other. She is surrounded by two smaller people who appear to have the legs of goats and the bodies of humans, with horned heads. Above and below these people are decorative, curling lines showing vines and flowering branches, with the heads and bodies of two horses visible at the bottom, surrounded by what appear to be curling waves. The people and shapes in the design are off-white against a dark, cross-hatched background, while the area outside of the design is off-white paper.
