Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a large, standing figure at its center, surrounded by numerous smaller figures, all set against a dark, almost black background. The central figure is depicted with golden skin, a blue topknot, and a prominent halo composed of concentric rings of white and light green. This figure stands on a small green mound, facing forward, with hands held close to the body. Around this central figure, and extending to the top, bottom, and sides of the composition, are many smaller figures. These figures are mostly depicted with golden skin, though a few have white skin. Each of these smaller figures also has a halo, typically a white ring with a green inner circle. They are arranged on stylized white and light green clouds, giving the impression of floating. Some of these figures hold musical instruments such as flutes or stringed instruments, while others hold various objects or have their hands in gestures. In the upper right portion of the dark background, several small, golden, elongated figures appear to be falling or floating downwards, accompanied by tiny white bird-like shapes. A decorative banner-like object with white streamers is also visible in the upper left. The overall composition is symmetrical around the central figure, with the surrounding figures arranged in a circular pattern.
