A shepherd stands wrestling with a black bear which is clawing his back while another Gaddi strikes the bear with an axe. There are sheep on the right.
Note: Chandu Lal appears to have based his composition on the traditional subject of a man with a performing bear and modified it into a new subject pertinent to the Hills(cf. Add.Or.1428 and Add.Or.1505. For the artist see Add.Or.3822).
