Anthropomorphic Mythical Being with Jagged Tail holding a club appears at the upper right, while the Anthropomorphic Mythical Being with snake hair holding a knive and a trophy head appears at the top center. Note that some of the defeated supernatural beings are grasped by their tongues. Four large beings are placed at the corners of the painting, one of them (bottom right) is depicted running.
