Brief Description

A central multi-armed figure with a halo, surrounded by smaller seated and standing figures in a grid

Detailed Description

A rectangular artwork features a large central standing figure surrounded by a grid of smaller figures against a dark blue background. The central figure has light, possibly golden, skin and faces forward with two hands clasped at the chest. Numerous other arms radiate outwards from behind the figure, forming a large circular red and gold halo. The figure wears a tall, ornate crown, elaborate jewelry, and flowing robes in shades of red, blue, and black, standing on a multi-layered, petal-like pedestal. The central composition is framed by a border of smaller figures, each typically enclosed within a red-bordered, arch-shaped niche. Along the top edge, ten seated figures are depicted. The left and right vertical edges each contain eight figures, predominantly seated, some with halos. The bottom edge features ten figures, which include both seated and standing postures, some with darker skin tones and dynamic poses. The smaller figures display a variety of skin tones, including red, black, gold, blue, and white, and wear different colored robes. The dark blue background behind these figures is patterned with small red dots. The color palette is dominated by deep reds, blues, and gold, with accents of black and white.
