A watercolour painting which depicts a spiritual being with four arms and an animal-like head. The being has a black head and green body. It is wearing a blue skirt that ends just below the knee. The bottom of the skirt has a border made up of red, blue, yellow, and green horizontal stripes. The main body of the skirt is covered in thinner horizontal stripes, and consists of two pieces which come together in the front. A piece of fabric hangs down from the waistband, which is decorated with a repeating circular pattern. A red, striped sash is draped diagonally across the being's chest. Additional adornments wrap around its chest and neck, and decorative bands encircle its biceps, wrists, and legs. The being's head is elongated, and facing to the left. It has two eyes stacked vertically above an open mouth. Its lower jaw is filled with sharp teeth. The being has a pointed, red ear on the side of its head, and three white bumps on top. A long black tail extends behind the head and across its shoulder. One of the being's arms is holding an elephant head by the trunk. The other arms are holding a round, red and green object, a small, thin blade, and a slightly larger curved blade. There is an animal standing behind the being. The animal is green, with a large, round body, a long face, hooves, and whiskers. The painting's background is bright yellow, and a rectangular black border surrounds the image. There is a unpainted section behind the being's head and shoulders.
A watercolour painting which depicts a spiritual being seated on a horned, four-legged animal. The being's skin is white, and it is wearing a brown skirt that ends just below the knee and curls outward at the hip. The bottom of the skirt has a border made up of white, yellow, and brown horizontal stripes. The main body of the skirt is covered in thinner horizontal stripes, and consists of two pieces which come together in the front.

The being has narrow eyes, a small mouth, and stretched earlobes which extend to its chin. Decorations extend from the bottom of its nose. The being's arms are raised by its sides, and one of them is holding an object with a long, thin handle and a rounded, tapered end comprised of multiple strands that hang down to the being's wrist. One of the being's legs is bent underneath it, and rests on the head and back of a four-legged animal. The animal is light orange, with a humped back, short, pointed horns, and long face, legs, and tail. One of its back legs is lifted and bent. The painting's background is bright yellow, and a rectangular black border surrounds the image. Orange and white rings radiate from behind the being's head and shoulders.
A rectangular sketchbook folder with most of its pages torn out--two pages remain inside. Sinhalese script has been written in blue pen in the top right corner of the cover.

The first page is a sample sheet with information about the sketchbook and manufacturer. The second page is also a sample sheet, with text on the back side. The cover is blue, and reads 'The Waverly Artistic School Drawing Book' in the bottom centre of the page. Above this, inside of a solid black oval, is a left-facing portrait style bust of Mars wearing a toga and a Roman helmet. Sitting on top of his helmet is a small, winged dragon with its mouth open and tongue out. Extending from the bust is a broad, floral border which continues along the top and sides of the cover in a rectangular arch. Thin, horizontal stripes fill in the space between the flowers and leaves. Surrounding the floral pattern, bust, and title is a second border, consisting of three thin, parallel lines.
