The raiders of Gad are depicted as a tent encampment spread out over a plain.

Tribe of "Gad" - a colored silkscreen depicting a desert encampment and blue sky. The inscription "GAD" in Hebrew and English. Below, the artist's signature.
Reverse:
Dali's work "Hora around the Menorah" from his "Aliyah" series. Below, artist's name in Hebrew.
