Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a standing figure against a dark, plain background, framed by ornate borders. The central figure faces forward, with a round face and small, indistinct features, rendered in a faint reddish hue. A large, circular halo, colored a muted blue-green and outlined in gold, surrounds the figure's head. An elaborate gold crown sits atop the head. The figure wears flowing robes, primarily dark green or blue with intricate gold patterns, and a visible undergarment of red with gold floral designs. The left hand holds a long, slender staff, topped with an ornate gold finial. The right hand is raised, holding a translucent, spherical object. The figure's bare feet are visible, resting on a stylized, lotus-like base rendered in light tones. The central image area is a dark, almost black, brown. This central panel is bordered by a thin gold line, followed by a narrow teal band adorned with gold floral patterns. Beyond this, a wide, dark blue border with lighter blue floral and foliage patterns frames the entire composition. The top and bottom edges of the scroll feature wider teal bands with gold patterns, similar to the inner teal border.
