This is a drawing featuring two highly detailed and intricate ornamental designs. The left design includes a tall, column-like structure with various embellishments such as human figures, animals, and decorative elements. A bowl-like structure adorned with flames is at the top, supported by chained elements. The middle section showcases curves and ornate carvings, while the base features a detailed scene of a combat between horse riders. The right design is also a towering structure with decorative motifs including winged creatures and elaborate patterns. The top is crowned by a winged beast holding scepters. Both designs are set against a plain background, emphasizing their detailed craftsmanship and artistic intricacy.
