Detailed Description
A central figure is seated with a halo, hands clasped, atop a multi-petaled base. This figure is surrounded by swirling lines that suggest clouds or water. Eight additional figures encircle the central one. In the upper half, two figures appear on each side of the central figure. These creatures have serpentine lower bodies, some with wings or fins, and human-like torsos or heads. In the lower half, two figures are on each side. These also feature serpentine lower bodies, some with human-like torsos and heads, and others with more dragon-like characteristics. One figure on the lower left has a human torso and head with elaborate hair, and a long, scaled serpentine tail. Another figure on the lower right is a winged, dragon-like creature. The background includes faint wavy lines suggesting water or clouds, and small rock formations in the lower right. The entire drawing is rendered in black ink on light brown paper, framed by a darker brown border with a patterned band. The lines are delicate and detailed, with no other colors present.
