This painting shows a bright, flat scene with bold colors. A man with a halo stands in the center, blessing two other men below. One man holds a sheep, another a bird, and a horse floats above them. The background has simple clouds and orange hills. The word "Icoauite" is written at the top, which might relate to the scene’s meaning. The style looks like it was made by hand, with thick outlines and bright patches of color. Look up cult object to see how items like these were used in religious traditions.
