Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting features a single standing figure positioned centrally against a dark background. The figure has light-toned skin, a bald head, and a neutral expression, with eyes cast downwards. A dark, circular halo surrounds the head, and a golden, ornate crown floats directly above it. The figure is adorned with multiple necklaces and armbands, rendered in gold and dark tones. Elaborate robes, primarily in shades of gold, brown, and dark grey, drape around the body, featuring intricate patterns. The right hand is raised, holding a small, round, golden object from which a flame-like element emerges. The left hand is held lower, near the waist. The figure stands on a formation of stylized, light brown and gold clouds that extend across the bottom portion of the painting. The main dark background is framed by a decorative border. The side borders are a dark grey fabric with a repeating pattern of gold diamond shapes, while the top and bottom borders are solid gold.
