Visual Summary

Brief Description

A golden, crowned figure runs, holding a golden object and red flag, within a spiral

Detailed Description

The artwork features a central, golden-skinned, monkey-like figure in a dynamic running pose. This figure wears red shorts and a multi-tiered golden crown. Its tongue protrudes from its mouth, and a circular motif is visible on its chest. In its raised left hand, it holds a large, lumpy, golden object resembling a small mountain. In its right hand, it grasps a stick topped with a triangular red flag. Surrounding this central figure is a wide, spiraling border composed of countless tiny, colorful figures. These figures, appearing to be people, animals, and chariots, are arranged in multiple rows within the spiral. The spiral begins in the upper left, encircles the central figure, and then expands outwards, filling the majority of the square composition. The spiral's edges are defined by golden lines, and a thin outer band of red dots or script follows its contour. The background is a plain, light beige color.
