Next to the sheep is a bull showing strong linear patterns. Below the bull are three blue fish with simple detailing. The right side of the canvas is dominated by a large white human figure with bold linear patterns on the body. Finally, in the lower right corner, a red lion with an expressive mane and a coiled tail is present. This artwork showcases a blend of abstract and symbolic representation of fauna and a human figure in a tribal-like, simplified form.
