Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a central, large, green-skinned figure with four visible arms, standing prominently. This figure wears a red and white sash across its chest and a blue and white patterned lower garment. A halo of blue and red flames surrounds its head. In its upper right hand, it holds a trident-like object, and in its upper left, a wheel-like object. Two smaller, human-like figures flank the central figure; the one on the left wears a green robe, and the one on the right wears a brown robe. Below these figures, a group of five monstrous figures are arranged. Two red-skinned figures with horns and fangs are visible, one holding a club. To their right, a white-skinned figure with a club and a white loincloth is depicted. Further right, a dark blue/black-skinned figure with fangs holds a weapon, and a yellow/brown-skinned figure with fangs also holds a weapon. The background behind the figures is a dark gray-brown. The painting is mounted on a scroll with a gold-flecked outer border and a dark brown inner border.
