Two riders, each mounted on a horse, flank a cow in the center. The riders are adorned in elaborate armor and helmets, while the horses appear to be mythical creatures with spiraling horns and ornate embellishments.

The print exemplifies the Mannerist style of the period, characterized by exaggerated proportions, intricate details, and a focus on the fantastical. The artwork is a fine example of Jamnitzer's work, known for its meticulous detail and unique blend of reality and fantasy.
