Visual Summary

Brief Description

A damaged circular artwork with a standing crowned figure holding two vertical staffs and a serpent

Detailed Description

The artwork is presented within a circular format, exhibiting significant surface damage and material loss, particularly around the edges and in various patches across the composition. A central standing figure is depicted frontally, with a round face and a neutral gaze. The figure wears an elaborate, multi-tiered headdress or crown. Dark-toned robes with visible vertical folds cover the body, extending downwards to the bottom edge of the circle. The figure holds two long, thin, vertical objects, one in each hand, which extend from the upper torso to below the waist. These objects appear to be staffs or poles. To the lower right of the figure, a dark, undulating form resembling a serpent is visible, its body curving upwards. The background is dark and mottled, showing extensive areas where the original surface material has deteriorated, revealing a rough, uneven texture. The details of the figure, including facial features and patterns on the robes, are somewhat obscured by the artwork's condition.
