Detailed Description
A circular image shows a large, multi-story building with curved roofs, surrounded by numerous people. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by browns, greens, and reds, with some brighter accents. In the upper right quadrant of the circular frame, several red, square-shaped seals or stamps with illegible characters are visible against the plain dark background. The building occupies the central and left portions of the composition. Its uppermost level features a dark, tiled roof with ornate eaves. Below this, a balcony extends, behind which numerous small figures are visible inside, engaged in various activities. The middle level also has a balcony with a dark railing, and within, more figures are seated at tables or standing. Red pillars support the structure on this level, and a white banner hangs from the right side of the building. At the ground level, a wide staircase leads up to the building's entrance. A large group of people is gathered on and around these stairs. Some figures are dressed in colorful robes, carrying objects, or interacting with others. To the left of the staircase, a prominent green tree with dense foliage is depicted. To the right, a low, dark wall extends horizontally across the mid-ground. Behind this wall, more figures are seen, some carrying items on poles. In the far right background, a smaller building with a dark roof and some distant trees are partially visible.
