Visual Summary

Brief Description

A central multi-armed, multi-headed figure stands within a circular halo, surrounded by smaller figures

Detailed Description

A vertical rectangular artwork on a textile-like surface features a large central figure surrounded by numerous smaller figures. The central figure dominates the composition, standing with multiple arms and heads, adorned with an elaborate tiered headdress. Its body is primarily green and blue, with red lower garments. It is framed by a large, dark circular halo and a lighter, crescent-shaped aura behind its head. Above the central figure, three smaller figures are depicted. The uppermost figure is seated in a meditative pose, directly above the central figure's headdress. Two similar seated figures are positioned to its left and right, slightly lower. These figures are mostly red and brown. To the left and right of the central figure, outside the main circular frame, are two additional smaller seated figures. The one on the left is predominantly red, while the one on the right shows more blue and red. Below the central figure, a smaller seated figure is centrally placed, within a circular frame. To its left and right, two dynamic, standing or kneeling figures are depicted. The figure on the left is large and red, while the one on the right is also red and appears to be in motion. The background is a muted, dark greenish-brown, with subtle hints of lighter blue and red around the figures, forming swirling patterns. The overall palette is subdued, featuring earthy tones alongside reds, blues, and greens.
