Brief Description

A shield-shaped panel depicts a crowned, jeweled figure seated cross-legged on a lotus throne

Detailed Description

The image displays a vertical, shield-shaped wooden panel, painted with a central figure against a dark background. The panel tapers to a point at the top and widens slightly towards the bottom, with a flat base. The central figure is depicted seated cross-legged on a red lotus throne, facing forward. The figure has light-colored skin, dark hair, and an elaborate golden crown adorned with red and blue elements. Numerous pieces of jewelry, including necklaces, armbands, and bracelets, decorate the figure's bare torso and arms. The hands are held at chest level in a specific gesture, with fingertips touching. The figure wears a red and gold patterned skirt. Behind the figure's head is a golden halo, encircled by a blue and yellow halo, all set within a red arched frame. Above the arch, at the pointed top of the panel, is a golden wheel symbol with eight spokes, surrounded by stylized floral or leaf patterns in blue, red, and white on a dark background. The lotus throne rests on a multi-tiered pedestal, which features architectural elements and two small, stylized faces or figures on either side, rendered in blue and white. The bottom section of the panel is a plain dark rectangle, separated from the painted scene by a horizontal band of small circles. Two small holes are visible on the left and right edges of the panel, near the middle. The dominant colors are red, gold, blue, and white, with accents of black and yellow.
