Circular monochromatic image: winged male figure with spear, winged female figure with staff, on clouds
Detailed Description
The circular monochromatic image features figures rendered in light off-white tones against a reddish-brown background, framed by a simple light-colored border. On the left, a tall, muscular, winged figure stands on billowing clouds. This figure, likely male, wears a chest plate adorned with a radiating sun emblem and holds a long, slender spear pointing upwards and to the right. Drapery flows behind him, and his gaze is directed towards the right. To the right, a winged figure, likely female, is seated on clouds. She is draped in flowing fabric and holds a staff-like object in her right hand. Her hair is styled, possibly with a wreath. Her left hand rests on the head of a smaller, winged figure, a putto, positioned at her feet, who holds onto her drapery. All figures are surrounded by and supported by the lighter-toned clouds, filling the circular frame.
