content: Framed painting with contrasting scenes on each side of a middle dividing line. On the left, a variety of animals, both predator and prey, are sitting around a horse-shoe shaped table. They appear to be having a special meal together. Two monkeys stand to either side holding torches. At the top center of this scene is a white robed figure with wings and halo on the sun. In the foreground a monkey is reading a large book. In the lower left corner a dark gray winged figure with horns sits looking pensive. In the scene on the right, the animals are scattered about on a lightly wooded hillside and are no longer at peace with each other. The predators are attacking the prey animals, with blood spurting out. A dark gray winged figure with horns and a menacing grin hovers over the scene at the top center. Amharic writing on several areas of the painting including a band across the top. Artist not identified. Gold colored wooden frame with wire on the back for hanging.
