This is a print showing a assemblage of acrobats. A dark skinned fiugre in the centre balances two others on his shoulders, while holding on to banners. The figures hold on to the same banners and also carry two floral hoops in their hands. The dark figure stands on the head of two horses that are standing only on their hind legs. A second figure balances upside down on the back of a lion, and between these horses. The lion stands on the ground facing the audience. An inscription in Bengali mentions the name of the studio where the print was created.
