Description: | This long vertical scroll shows the top and base panels in a jade green floral motif, while the centre panel is of a gold patterned design. The image shows a man riding on a horse that is raised up on its hind legs, against a grey background. The man is wearing a grey coat outlined in thick black lines, a large wide-brimmed hat tie under the chin, and black knee high boots with red trim. He carries a lance-like feature in his right hand. His facial features are detailed and also show a small beard and long drooping moustache. The black horse has three legs in the air and appears to almost jumping. A red rosette-type feature is seen on the nose and a similar one at the back of the saddle, near the haunches. The horse also shows the bridle and bits. The image is monochrome except for the splashes of red, and both man and horse appear very short and squat.
