This is a drawing of figures and a medallion. The artwork consists of three distinct sketches on a single sheet. At the top, there is a linear sketch of a draped figure holding a wheel-like object. In the middle, a sketch depicts an animal-like figure with a wheel by its side. At the bottom, there is a circular design resembling a medallion featuring the face of a lion with a prominent mane, bordered by ornate detailing. The lion medallion is supported by a cylindrical pedestal.
