Abstracted summary
On the left we see a club-wielding priest and on the right a princely figure with a woman behind him signaling her distress. Below and to the side of her is a female servant while between the two main figures are two parekan. It looks like Delem has Twalen on the gound under him. Behind the priest on the left is another parekan, probably Sangut. In the centre top of the painting is a sun motif. There are two patches. The one fixed to the bottom left hand corner of the painting depicts a kris bearing warrior presenting a brazier to priest. The second was fixed to the painting in front of the female servant on the right hand side of the painting. On it is depicted the head of a male person staring at the female servant.[ref PW 2005]
