Brief Description
Blue-skinned figure holds a mountain, with women, cows, and birds in a lush, stormy landscape
Detailed Description
The scene depicts a vibrant outdoor setting under a dark, stormy sky. At the top, dark gray clouds with white highlights fill the sky, above a range of green, conical mountains. Below the mountains, a dense forest of green trees covers the middle ground, populated by numerous small, colorful birds, including peacocks, perched on branches and flying. In the center, a blue-skinned figure, dressed in a yellow cloth wrapped around the lower body and a white garland, stands with their right arm raised, appearing to hold up a dark, rocky, triangular mass. The figure wears a large, circular, golden headdress. They are surrounded by several women with dark hair, dressed in long, patterned skirts and blouses in shades of maroon, orange, and beige. Some women have their hands raised towards the rocky mass or the central figure. To the left, a woman in an orange skirt sits on the ground, while another stands near a large green plant. To the right, two women stand near a bushy green plant. The foreground features a bright green grassy field. On the left, a white cow stands with a small white calf. On the right, another white cow stands. Near the bottom edge, two white birds are positioned next to a dark, wavy body of water, possibly a river or stream, which contains numerous small, light-colored circular shapes, resembling flowers or pebbles. The entire scene is framed by a thin yellow inner border and a wider reddish-brown outer border.
