Brief Description
A central figure on a throne, flanked by smaller figures on a lion and elephant, with halos
Detailed Description
Three figures are depicted against a dark, muted background, framed by decorative borders. A large central figure sits on an ornate, multi-tiered throne, positioned slightly above two smaller flanking figures. The central figure wears flowing red robes and has a light-skinned face with a small mustache and beard. A large golden halo encircles the head, with a fainter, larger circular aura behind the entire body. The figure holds a dark, rectangular object in the left hand. The throne is dark with gold accents and rests on a white, cloud-like formation. To the left of the central figure, a smaller figure sits on a stylized dark lion. This figure wears ornate, possibly green and gold, robes and has a golden halo behind the head. The lion is depicted with a dark body and some gold details, also resting on a white cloud. To the right, another smaller figure sits on a stylized white elephant. This figure also wears ornate, possibly green and gold, robes and has a golden halo. The elephant is white with red and gold decorative elements, and it too rests on a white cloud. Above the central figure, a decorative canopy with red and gold elements hangs. The main pictorial area is bordered on the top and bottom by a green band with a subtle floral pattern, and on the sides by a dark blue band featuring a repeating geometric pattern of small gold diamonds and circles. The overall color palette is dominated by dark browns, deep reds, and gold, with touches of green and white.
