Brief Description
A multi-tiered architectural complex built into a mountainside, with many buildings and small figures
Detailed Description
A monochrome image, rendered in sepia tones, depicts an architectural complex built into a steep mountainside. The complex occupies the left and central portions of the image, featuring numerous multi-story buildings with curved, layered roofs and ornate eaves. These structures are connected by a network of stairs, walkways, and terraces. Small figures are visible throughout the complex, on terraces, ascending and descending stairs, and within open sections of the buildings. Below the main structures, dense foliage and trees extend towards the bottom edge. A large, curved retaining wall forms the base of a platform on the right side of the complex. In the upper right quadrant, a distant, lighter-toned mountain range is visible, featuring a winding, river-like or path-like element and soft, cloud-like forms against a plain, light sepia background.
