Black line drawing on a pale lilac wall shows a stylised warrior figure with a moustache, a vertical tilak on the forehead and a round turban-like headwear. He grips a long curved bow or staff across his body, wears a short dhoti with pleated front folds and armlets on his upper arms, and leans forward in an active pose.

Close photograph of a carved stone temple frieze with three figures in relief within a horizontal panel. The left figure is a mounted rider or warrior with an animal beneath, the centre figure stands holding a staff or weapon with a shield-like form, and the right figure appears to grapple with a curling serpentine or coiled form. Carved floral scroll bands border the panel above and below, with weathered grey granite texture. No living people are visible; the figures are sculpted reliefs, and no identifiable person is depicted.
