Two horizontal wooden planks with nine painted circular medallions, each showing a seated figure
Detailed Description
Two long, horizontal wooden planks are positioned one above the other against a plain, light background. Each plank is painted with a red background and features a series of nine circular medallions. These medallions, outlined in yellow or gold, each contain a seated figure and are separated by small, decorative yellow elements. Small white circular fasteners or pegs are visible between some of the medallions on both planks. On the top plank, from left to right, the figures include: a red-colored figure with one hand raised; two yellow-colored figures with hands in their laps; two green-colored figures with hands in their laps; two more yellow-colored figures with hands in their laps; a red-colored figure with one hand raised; and a final, faded figure that appears yellow-colored. On the bottom plank, from left to right, the figures include: a yellow-colored figure holding a small object; an orange-colored figure holding a small object; two red-colored figures with hands in their laps; a greenish-blue-colored figure with hands in their laps; two yellow-colored figures with hands in their laps; an orange-colored figure with hands in their laps; and a final, faded figure that appears yellow-colored. Both planks show signs of wear and paint loss, particularly at their edges and on some of the figures.
