Visual Summary

Brief Description

Seated figure with a halo on a lotus flower above stylized waves

Detailed Description

A seated figure is depicted centrally, facing forward with a slight tilt to the right, appearing to look downwards. A circular halo is visible behind the figure's head. The hair is styled in an elaborate bun on top of the head, with long, dark, flowing strands extending over the shoulders and down the sides. The figure wears draped garments, with intricate patterns visible on the chest and arms, possibly indicating jewelry or embroidered fabric. The hands are positioned in front of the chest, with the right hand raised slightly and the left hand resting on the lap. The figure is seated cross-legged on a large, multi-petaled lotus flower. Below the lotus, stylized waves are depicted, filling the lower portion of the image. The composition is set against a plain, textured background.
