Visual Summary

Brief Description

Robed figure on a green lotus, holding a staff and flaming jewel, with a golden halo

Detailed Description

At the center of the vertical composition, a bald figure with light skin sits cross-legged on a large green lotus flower. The figure wears flowing robes, primarily red with green and blue patterns, and gold accents. The figure's eyes are downcast, and a faint smile is on the lips. Behind the figure's head is a golden halo, and behind the body is a larger, concentric halo with shades of yellow, green, and blue. The figure holds a long staff with a finial at the top in the right hand, resting it on the shoulder. In the left hand, held near the chest, is a small, flaming jewel or orb. The lotus flower has multiple layers of green petals, and beneath it are swirling pink and white clouds. The background is a plain, light brown color. The entire composition is framed by decorative borders. The side borders feature repeating dark blue tree-like motifs on a gold background. The top and bottom borders have a band of repeating gold floral patterns on a dark gray-green background, positioned above and below the tree motifs. Faint, vertical text appears on the right side of the figure, near the bottom, as a column of small, dark characters.
