A detailed landscape engraving shows a procession of elephants. In the center-left foreground, a lead elephant carries a rider beneath an ornate, circular canopy with a pointed roof. Following behind are four elephants arranged in a row, each bearing a large, house-like wooden structure (howdah) with a gabled roof. Several attendants on foot accompany the animals. The background features a dramatic, jagged rock formation on the left and a distant city on the right characterized by domed roofs and a tall, slender tower or minaret. The ground appears to be a sandy or rocky plain, and the sky is filled with horizontal clouds. The entire scene is enclosed in a simple rectangular border, with a small mark "† I." in the bottom right corner.
