This is a drawing of a grand procession on a monumental staircase. The scene is crowded with figures lining the stone steps that lead up to a large, ornate architectural structure. At the center of the staircase, a large statue of a mounted figure is being carried by a group of people. The coloring is subtle, with touches of color on some garments to make certain figures stand out. The attendants are clad in diverse attire ranging from simple robes to more opulent costumes. The atmosphere depicted is one of lively participation and vibrant community, characterized by the assembly of standing and seated figures who focus on the procession.
