Description:
A group of women on the left attacks a group of soldiers, who are in uniform with guns and swords, on the right. In the foreground, one woman carries an infant under her left arm while stabbing a soldier with a spear held in her right hand. Another woman, farthest to the left, has fallen to the ground and clutches a knife in her right hand while a woman in the background raises a large stone above her head. In the center of the composition there is a muddled group of fallen women and soldiers.
