Going from the very base of the wall, the first horizontal layer contains a procession of elephants, above which are horsemen and then a band of foliage.

The horizontal layers contrast beautifully with the diagonal link created between the silhouette of the dhow and the local fisherman walking back to shore.

The -yoroi was made of leather and iron lames bound together in horizontal layers, ornamented and reinforced with leather, silk and gilt metal.
