In this three-part composition the central female figure holds in its lowered arms the bridles of two confronted horses with female riders; a pair of heraldically presented birds hovers over her shoulders. The upper corners are filled with half-bodies of smaller horses. Shown in the ornamental border are repeat plant motifs.
