Detailed Description
A central, light-skinned figure is seated with legs crossed, hands clasped in front of the chest, against a dark background. The figure wears a tall, elaborate gold crown adorned with small red and blue elements, and light-colored robes that appear gold or pale yellow. The face has closed eyes and delicate features. The clasped hands hold a small, reddish, flame-like object. A large, circular halo, appearing gold with subtle red hues, surrounds the figure's head and body. The figure sits on a multi-layered lotus throne with prominent red and gold petals. This lotus throne rests on a complex, multi-tiered octagonal pedestal. The pedestal is decorated with intricate patterns in red, gold, and dark colors, showing various geometric and stylized floral motifs. The dark background behind the figure is a deep, textured black or very dark blue. At the top of this dark panel, a narrow horizontal band with a repeating red and gold pattern is visible. The entire composition is enclosed within a wide, textured golden border.
