Vertical painting on skin depicting a humanoid angel standing on top of a humanoid demon-like figure. The angel is carrying a sword in their right hand and a rope, which is tied to the demons' wrists, in their left. The angel has a halo-like shape behind their head, and two large, multi-coloured wings. The demon-like figure is lying on their back, with their wrists and ankles bound. There is Ethiopian text below the demon-like figure's head and next to the angel's left wing. There is a small numbered label written in ink on the lower left side of the back of the skin.
