A vertically oriented, rectangular Ethiopian artwork is displayed on a grey wall, likely within the Museo delle Culture (MUDEC) in Milan, Italy. The piece, appearing to be an illuminated manuscript leaf or icon on a light-colored substrate, shows signs of wear, including creases and small perforations along its right edge. The upper two-thirds of the artwork depict a central figure mounted on a white horse, set against a yellow sky and green ground. The figure, a dark-skinned male with a halo and stylized features, wears a patterned blue and gold tunic over a red undergarment, holding a long spear pointed downwards. The spear pierces a multi-colored, coiled serpent-like creature below the horse. A dark-skinned face with stylized features is visible within a dark green tree on the right. Erythrean (Ge'ez) script is present in the upper corners and above the serpent. The entire section is framed by a blue and gold geometric border. Below this main scene are two smaller panels. The left panel shows a light-skinned, haloed, bearded man in a white robe, with both arms raised, gesturing upwards. Below him are multiple stylized faces, some appearing distressed or demonic, against a light blue background. The right panel features a dark-skinned, haloed, bearded man in a brown hooded robe, holding a staff and seated on a yellow-brown lion against a dark blue background. Both lower panels also contain Erythrean script. A small metal pin or hook is visible at the top center, and a white display shelf with the numeral "08" is positioned beneath the artwork.
