Embroidered white and black animals, two black ravens, and human figures populate a light blue background. Skulls and beaded strings decorate the upper edge, with black animals in the lower portion. A dark, blue-skinned figure sits at center, one of three human figures. There are seven animals, including a white Bactrian camel and a black snow lion devouring a corpse. All represent symbolic offerings.
