Detailed Description
This panoramic view presents a vast landscape rendered primarily in gold and dark green. The background features shimmering gold, interspersed with numerous stylized, dark green and black cloud formations. In the upper left, a prominent, snow-capped mountain with a conical peak rises above rolling green hills and dark green forests. The landscape below is dotted with numerous buildings, ranging from small, simple structures to larger, more complex compounds with multiple courtyards and roofs. These buildings are depicted in shades of white, gray, and brown, with dark roofs. Many small figures, rendered in fine detail, populate the scene. They are seen walking, gathering in groups, and engaged in various activities around the buildings and along paths. A long, dark, horizontal band, possibly a river or a road, stretches across the middle panels, dividing some of the populated areas. The scene depicts an expansive settlement set within a natural environment, all against a gold backdrop.
