Description
A large elephant stands before an ornate gateway, carrying a rider or attendant on its back. A second figure walks close to its head, guiding the animal through the open courtyard. The high arch and decorated walls frame the scene, while small visitors and birds appear near the ground. The vertical elephant dominates the foreground, set against the intricate architecture.
