Description:
Recto: A herd of elephants moves away from the right into a hilly landscape. Palm trees appear in the foreground to the left and right. Two tiny figures clinging to the palms prepare to spring towards the elephants. A third hangs from the tail of an elephant and stands upon its knee, raising an axe with his left hand.
