Visual Summary

Brief Description

Four large, intricate circular mandalas with square centers, surrounded by small seated figures

Detailed Description

The artwork is a rectangular textile densely filled with intricate designs and figures. The central area is dominated by a 2x2 grid of four large circular mandalas. Each large circle contains a complex square mandala design at its center, characterized by multiple concentric squares and circles. These inner mandalas feature a central figure or symbol, surrounded by smaller figures, architectural elements, and geometric patterns in shades of red, gold, green, blue, and white. The outermost ring of each large circular mandala also contains numerous tiny, detailed figures or symbols. Between the four large mandalas, and along the vertical and horizontal axes, are smaller circular medallions, each enclosing a single figure. The entire composition is framed by multiple rows of small, seated figures. These figures, often depicted in meditation poses, are arranged within individual arched or circular frames, predominantly in hues of red, brown, and gold. The top and bottom borders feature continuous rows of these seated figures, while the side borders also contain similar arrangements.
