Visual Summary

Brief Description

Oval painting of a central city with temples and figures, surrounded by patterned rings and weapons.

Detailed Description

An oval-shaped painting is framed by a distressed red border. The central area features a rectangular city plan, predominantly red, filled with numerous white and red buildings, some resembling temples with domed roofs. A blue, wavy river or body of water flows through the center of this city, with a white, tiered structure at its bottom edge. In the upper left of the city, a group of figures sits within a white temple-like structure. To the upper right, figures are depicted on a green hill near more white temple structures. Along the right edge of the city, a multi-armed figure in blue and red stands, while another figure rides a bird-like creature. The city is encircled by several concentric rings. The innermost ring is red with small, intricate patterns. This is followed by a blue ring with a braided or rope-like texture. Next is a white ring with a repeating wave or cloud pattern. The outermost ring is green, featuring various objects arranged radially, including swords, axes, tridents, and bows. Several figures, some with multiple arms or riding animals, are also depicted within this green ring, positioned near the inner rings. The entire composition is set against a light background, with illegible dark script visible along the bottom edge of the red border.
