Green-skinned, three-eyed figure with halo, staff, two smaller figures, and two chickens
Detailed Description
The image is a vertical rectangular painting on a light tan background, framed by a darker tan border. In the center, a large, green-skinned figure stands. This figure has three eyes: two horizontal and one vertical on the forehead. Its hair is reddish-brown and appears somewhat wild or spiky. A circular halo, outlined in black with reddish-brown flame-like elements, surrounds the figure's head. The figure wears an orange sash draped over its left shoulder and around its waist, and a dark gray skirt-like garment. Its chest is bare, revealing a light green torso. The figure's right hand (viewer's left) is raised, palm outward, with fingers extended, and a star-like burst of orange light emanates from it. Its left hand (viewer's right) holds a tall, dark staff with a pointed tip. Two smaller, brown, monkey-like figures stand on either side of the central figure, facing inward. They appear to be reaching up towards the central figure. Below these smaller figures, near the bottom corners of the painting, are two black-outlined chickens. The one on the left faces right, and the one on the right faces left. Above the central figure's halo, in the upper left, is a black-outlined empty circle. In the upper right, there is a solid orange circle. The background is a light, faded tan, with visible texture and some dark smudges, particularly at the top edge.
