Detailed Description
A large central figure is seated on a lotus, flanked by two smaller figures, against a dark background. The central figure has light brown skin and wears an elaborate, multi-tiered headdress with red and gold accents. Its face is indistinct. Broad shoulders are draped in light blue-grey robes that extend outwards in large, swirling, cloud-like patterns on both sides. A dark band is visible around the figure's waist. The figure is seated cross-legged on a large, green lotus flower with visible petals, which rests on a dark, indistinct base. The legs are covered by a red garment. To the left and right of the central figure, at a lower level, stand two smaller, slender figures. They are depicted in robes with hints of red and green, and their forms are less distinct than the main figure. The background appears to feature stylized trees or foliage, particularly in the upper corners, with vertical strokes suggesting trunks or leaves. Behind the central figure's head, lighter, swirling patterns are visible. The very bottom shows a dark, horizontal band, possibly representing ground or water, with some lighter, wave-like elements. The overall palette includes earthy browns, muted greens, soft reds, and pale blues.
