Brief Description
Brown-toned image of multi-tiered buildings, elaborate boats, and a red seal
Detailed Description
A horizontal, brown-toned image depicts a series of structures and vessels. The overall color palette is monochromatic, with shades of brown and darker brown for the depicted elements. On the far left, two large, multi-tiered buildings stand side-by-side. Each building features multiple levels with curved, overhanging roofs and visible columns or supports. They appear to be situated on a flat, dark base. To the right of these buildings, a smaller, simpler boat with a pointed bow and stern is visible. Further right, a much larger, elaborate boat dominates the central-right portion of the image. This large vessel also features a multi-tiered structure on its deck, resembling the buildings on the left, complete with curved roofs. Numerous oars extend from its sides. To the far right, faint, indistinct shapes, possibly representing clouds or distant land, are visible. In the upper right corner, a square red seal with dark, illegible characters is present.
