The bottom center medal displays a dog-like creature, and the bottom right medal depicts a bull-like creature. The medals are arranged in a collage style, with some overlapping each other. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the detailed designs on the medals. The attention to detail in the medals' designs suggests a strong focus on craftsmanship and artistry.
