Signed by the weaver Nazau Kamay. A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The sandy ecru ground shows a lavishly blossoming and leafing bush above a warrior figure on horseback carrying another, across a rippling stream. The inscriptions above and on the banner identify the rare scene. Another inscription runs partially along the image bottom. Orange-red border with reversing fan palmettes.
