A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts skeletal figures and horses rendered in frantic white lines against a dark, textured background. Centered, a skeletal horse leaps leftward, while in the lower left, a horse's skull points downward. On the right, two skeletal figures grasp long, thin spears. Floating in the upper left, a large, grinning skull gazes across the scene. Closely spaced, scribbled marks define the chaotic, ghostly forms.
