This is a drawing of a circular design featuring a scene with a chariot and horses. The central circular image depicts a scene with multiple horses pulling a chariot, with figures brandishing weapons in motion. The border is intricately designed with a repeating pattern of floral motifs. Next to the design, there is a vertical set of small elliptical designs. The illustration emphasizes the movement and energy within the central scene, contrasted by the symmetry and repetition of the border.
