Description

Shows three figures, one bearded man holding a poised spear and a short stick with a star-shaped end. His genitals are tied up in cloth strips attached to his belt. At the right a woman in a short skirt, with earrings and short hair, begins to flee, while a man in a tall cylindrical hat is seated on the ground beside one of two small circular domed thatched buildings.
