This painting shows a scene with many people in elaborate clothing. They are gathered around a body on the ground, and some are holding weapons. The scene is divided into three sections, each with its own action. In the first section, a group of men in gold and red clothing are standing near an archway. In the second section, a man in a red tunic is kneeling next to the body, while others look on. In the third section, a group of people are gathered around a fire, with one person holding a torch.
