Two panels depict large, stylized white and dark green waves against a shimmering gold background
Detailed Description
This artwork is composed of two vertical panels, framed by a dark border. The background of both panels is a shimmering gold with visible flecks. The primary subject is a composition of large, stylized waves in dark green and white. On the left panel, a prominent wave crests in the upper center, its white foam curling to the right. Below it, a smaller, frothy wave also moves rightward. The waves are defined by crisp white outlines, with the body of the water filled in dark green, creating a strong contrast against the gold. The right panel features a large wave dominating the upper right, its crest turning towards the left. Below this, another substantial wave extends across the bottom of the panel, also cresting left. A smaller, frothy wave is visible in the lower right corner. The same color scheme of white outlines and dark green fills is used for these waves. In the upper right corner of this panel, there is a vertical column of dark, stylized characters, accompanied by a circular red seal.
