A child's drawing on worn white paper of multiple houses, some of which are very small, and a couple of human figures. One of the human figures carries a gun, and though the rest of the drawing is done with a pencil, the lines coming out of the gun are drawn with a red colored pencil or crayon instead. Handwritten Arabic text is scattered throughout the drawing and the number "435" is written at the top.
