Brief Description

Elephant-headed, multi-armed figure on a lotus, holding objects, with two rats below

Detailed Description

The image depicts a multi-armed, elephant-headed figure seated centrally on a large lotus flower. The figure has a light blue-grey body with a prominent belly and is shown in a cross-legged seated posture. Its elephant head features large, fan-like ears outlined in black, a trunk curving to the left, and two small tusks. Two wide-open eyes are visible above the trunk, and a small red mark is on the forehead. A crown adorned with three lotus buds sits atop the head. The figure has six arms. The upper left hand holds a black trident-like object. The upper right hand holds a shallow, rectangular dish with small dots inside. The middle left hand rests on the lap, while the middle right hand holds a small, round pot. The lower two hands are also resting on the lap. The figure wears armbands and wristbands, and a sash or garment is draped across its body, with red and orange accents. The figure is seated on a large, multi-layered lotus flower with numerous petals, colored in shades of orange and red with black outlines. Below the lotus, on a light brown ground, are two small, greyish-brown rat-like animals. One rat is on the left, facing right, and the other is on the right, facing left. Between them is a small, circular object with a star-like pattern inside. The entire scene is drawn with black outlines and filled with muted colors on a light brown, textured paper, which has irregular, torn edges.
