Visual Summary

Brief Description

Multiple tiers of seated figures, a central figure, and a narrative procession in a vertical image

Detailed Description

A tall, rectangular, vertically oriented image, rendered in shades of gray, black, and white, depicts multiple scenes arranged in horizontal tiers. The uppermost section features a large, central figure seated on an ornate, multi-tiered throne with a pointed archway behind it. This figure is flanked by two smaller seated figures on simpler platforms. To the left and right of these figures are dark, dense masses of foliage or trees. Above the central group, within a triangular, roof-like structure, are four figures in kneeling or floating poses, two on each side, facing inwards. The background throughout the image is a solid, light gray. Below this top tier are two nearly identical horizontal sections. Each section contains three large, central figures seated on ornate, multi-tiered thrones with pointed archways, similar to the top central figure. Each of these three central figures is flanked by two smaller seated figures on simpler platforms. Between the central figures in each tier, a stylized tree with sparse branches and leaves extends upwards. The lowest section presents a more complex scene. On the left, several figures are seated or kneeling on the ground, some appearing to interact. A stylized tree or plant is visible in the center-left. On the right, a procession of figures on horseback is followed by numerous standing and kneeling figures. The figures are depicted with varying levels of detail, and the ground appears to be a lighter tone.
