Detailed Description
The image is a vertical painting depicting a standing figure. The background is a mottled, light brown or gold color. The central figure is a multi-headed, multi-armed being standing on a lotus pedestal. The main body of the figure is light-skinned, possibly white or pale cream, and is adorned with flowing robes in shades of white, light brown, and a reddish-brown sash. Three main faces are visible, facing forward, left, and right, each with closed eyes and a slight curve to the lips. Above these three heads, a smaller, fourth head is visible, facing forward. A large, circular halo, golden-brown with red flame-like elements, surrounds the upper part of the figure's body and heads. Two hands are clasped together in front of the chest. Another right hand holds a golden trident-like staff. A left hand holds a white lotus flower. Other arms are visible, draped with fabric. The figure stands on a multi-layered lotus pedestal. The top layer is a patterned cushion with geometric designs in gold and brown, resting on a base of stylized lotus petals in shades of green and brown. The overall composition is centered, with the figure dominating the vertical space. The colors are muted, with gold and reddish accents. The painting is framed by a narrow green border with a subtle pattern, and then a wider, plain brown border.
