This painting shows five figures in conflict. Set in a background of clouds, two individuals sit upon the clouds in the sky looking down on three individuals who appear to be rushing into ambush. The two figures on the cloud above on the upper left can be concluded to be divine beings in conversation with each other and wearing elaborate garments. The three individuals on the bottom right appear to be mortal, wielding weapons and wearing very little clothing. There appear to be no inscriptions.
