Description
The main scene is of a cockfight, possibly with the king of Gegelang (who appears to be dining with Panji top centre). Top left and right, an ugly commoner is shown with a princess, top left molesting her. Could this be Ktut Subaya from the Brayut? The painting seems to have been cut off, but the right bottom shows the king riding a horse to the cockfight barn. He and the ugly man face off with their roosters. Bottom extreme left shows scenes of ribaldry with women sellers and men getting drunk. In a scene where Panji and the king dine together, the ugly man brings food or some other kind of offering to them.
