The image shows various wavy and swirling lines and shapes composing an abstract scene. In the upper left is a figure beneath an ornate umbrella-like structure. A faint image of a horse-like creature is also visible. Moving down the center, there is a group of standing figures on the right appearing to be dancing or celebrating, dressed in flowing clothing. In the lower section are more abstract figures, one with a distinct head covering. The scene is filled with vibrant red, yellow, and orange hues.
