Detailed Description
Eighteen figures are depicted, seated on ornate, gold-patterned chairs with dark bases against a plain, light golden-brown background. The figures are arranged in a roughly triangular formation, with three figures at the top and more figures in the lower rows, creating two distinct vertical columns of seated individuals. The left column, particularly in the lower rows, features figures wearing bright red robes with wide sleeves and elaborate, gold-adorned headwear with dangling elements. Their robes often have decorative panels on the chest and knees. The right column and the upper rows feature figures wearing a variety of robes in shades of blue, green, brown, and light grey. These figures wear dark, often cylindrical or flat-topped hats. Many of them have beards and mustaches. Their robes also feature decorative chest panels, often depicting birds or other motifs. A vertical inscription in black characters on a white background is visible in the center, between the two main groups of figures, extending from the upper middle to the lower middle of the image. All figures are depicted frontally with neutral expressions.
