Visual Description
A stern armored figure stands in a decorated chariot framed by two columns and a blue canopy studded with flowers; a Roman-style breastplate and a cloak identify him as a warrior. The chariot's prow displays three sculpted faces with an Egyptian motif and a banner across the bottom reads the Russian word "Колесница." Behind him a river runs past green hills and a walled town, and above the canopy the Roman numeral VII is set between crescent shapes and a star. The scene is rendered in hand-colored line work with muted pastels and clear architectural and textile details.
