A youth wearing a torn leopard skin and a wreath in his hair is tied to the mast of a ship. The sail is partly visible above him. A wild-looking group of men with long beards and hair surrounds him aggressively brandishing their daggers. Most of them are only dressed in a skirt-like garment and are barefoot. A man on the left wears a sleeveless harness and a cap as well. He holds a large battle axe. A rope lies coiled up in the lower right corner.
