The image shows two fantastical figures in a procession. The figures are humanoid creatures with bird-like faces and elongated limbs. One figure on the left holds a dagger in its left hand, while the other on the right carries a weapon at the waist. Both wear flowing garments resembling wings. In the background, a crowd of similar creatures follows, with buildings sketched faintly. The names "Cicho Sgarra" and "Collo Francisco" are written beneath the figures.
