Description : Print shows a confusion of men and horses passing in front of steps possibly leading to a palace during a horse show; some of the men standing on the steps are equipped with bow and arrows, and some of the men appear to be servants who are leading the horses to their warrior masters (there is no fighting taking place in this scene) or horse traders who are showing off the horses, available for purchase, to the warriors.
