Seated on a she-ass Jesus is welcomed to Jerusalem. One man spreads his robe on the road, a sign of respect. Among the townsmen are a number of scribes; one of them holds a goose feather pen.

The buildings in the background are presumably from Siena: a campanile, baptistery and the town hall. Lorenzetti was born and died in Siena.
