A black and white print portrays a man lying on the ground surrounded by broken weapons and a crowd of onlookers.

In the lower left corner of this black and white print, a man wearing pants but no shirt lies on the ground with his knees up and his eyes closed. Another man leans over him, holding a broken piece of wood. Smaller, pointy shards of wood are strewn around the ground around them, along with two mallets that have broken handles. To the right, a man wearing robes and a turban strides forward with his right leg, and holds out a broken mallet in front of him. He shows it to a man wearing armor and seated on a throne, up and to the right. Directly above the man on the ground, a man clothed in flowing robes and holding a large book flies down from the sky. Rays of light emanate from his head. The scene is filled with onlookers, including soldiers, a mother holding an infant, and men wearing turbans. Below the scene is an inscription with three verses of text.
