content: This station scene shows banners selling famous yam soup. On the left side is a man-eating just outside the shop. Two covered soldiers in the front, with their back behind us, are walking towards a man on horseback. The right side shows a mother carrying a baby and an older child behind her. As our eyes wander more in-depth into the image, there is a giant tree that echos the same shape of the mountain behind it.
