The representation of a on the left leg and a foot, covering the on the left side of the holder with another suggestion to the right, against the background filled by dashed very pale yellow. The leg and foot are probably a figure standing with legs in the air, as if planted banana. They can be seen to lower leg, back view, with clear pants piled species, probably due to the position of the leg, the ankle and the protrusions sole with the heel and toes bypassed. The on the right leg and foot are only slightly suggested by the contour and hachuriados in blood in the leg and foot. At the bottom, around the leg and the foot, dashed pale yellow.
