Abstract:
Depiction of a grasshopper holding a silver shield in his right hand. He's in a defensive position with his left arm held away from his body. He's wearing a red loincloth with a small grasshopper peeking out of the top. A weapon with an elaborately decorated hilt is attached on the left side of his loincloth. He's standing on some flat rocks. A lake and mountains are in the background.
