Visual Summary

Brief Description

Two horizontal wooden panels with eighteen painted, multi-armed figures in arched, red-orange compartments

Detailed Description

The artwork consists of two long, horizontal wooden panels, each featuring a series of painted figures. The panels are dark brown or black, with a teal border framing each of the eighteen individual, red-orange arched compartments. Nine compartments are on the top panel, and nine are on the bottom panel, arranged in a single row on each. Within each arch, a single figure is depicted seated in a cross-legged position. Many of the figures have multiple arms, ranging from four to eight, and some hold small, indistinct objects. Halos are visible behind the heads of most figures. The figures exhibit a variety of skin tones, including light yellow, white, blue, green, and red. They wear simple, stylized garments and headpieces. The painting style is flat with clear outlines. The top panel has a chipped section on its far left end, and the far right end of both panels shows some wear.
