The work presents a centrally positioned panda figure executed in flat black stencil against a white ground. The raised arm holding a handgun introduces tension, transforming the image into a commentary on violence. The deckled edges of the paper emphasize the handcrafted nature of the piece. The lower margin bears a signature reading 'Banksy'.

Dimensions: Image size: 21.6 x 29.8 cm. All measurements are approximate.

Note: Banksy often employs animal imagery as a vehicle for irony and cultural critique. This composition reflects the artist's broader strategy of destabilizing familiar symbols of innocence to provoke reflection on media imagery and authority.
