Detailed Description
A rectangular scene, framed by a gold border, is divided into a dark blue sky at the top and a green ground below, separated by a lighter, textured horizontal band. In the dark blue sky, two large, stylized dragons emerge from dark, wispy clouds. The dragon on the left is green, and the dragon on the right is reddish-orange, both with long bodies, claws, and open mouths. Additional light-colored, wispy clouds are scattered across the upper right sky. The middle section features a light, textured, tan-colored horizontal band that serves as a backdrop for some elements. A small, red, boat-like object hangs from a thin line in the upper left of this band. The lower section shows a green ground, with scattered light-colored clouds at the very bottom. Numerous human-like figures are distributed across this green ground and the tan band. They wear flowing robes in shades of red, orange, brown, and green, and many have long, dark hair. On the left side of the green ground, a group of figures stands and kneels, some near small, round, light-colored objects, possibly lotus flowers. One figure in red stands on a lotus. In the center, several figures are within or near a large, light-colored cloud formation that rises from the green ground. On the right side, more figures are on the green ground, some kneeling or standing near several tall, slender trees with green foliage and brown trunks. Two small, red, shield-like objects are also visible near the trees on the right
