A horizontally oriented print in thin, scribbled black ink depicts a dense, crowded struggle. In the center, numerous figures grapple in a flurry of movement, wielding raised spears and blades. To the right, a figure stands with their back toward us, drawing a bow toward the melee. In the background, a tapered tower and thin lines emerge from the paper. The composition blends the figures together through energetic, overlapping strokes.
