This album leaf is a part of a 48-page album that depicts Chinese subjects participating in various aspects of daily life, including government business, daily life, cultural customs, modes of transportation, and corporal punishment. This leaf contains an ink and watercolour painting that is slightly different, stylistically, from other paintings in the album. It depicts a doubled-ended spear with round yellow spheres on each end of the handle before the blade. On the same page is another weapon with a long and pointed blade, decorated with a tiger head between the blade and handle.
