Seven robed figures wearing tall, striped hats stand on swirling clouds
Detailed Description
A black and white image shows seven figures arranged vertically, surrounded by swirling clouds. The figures are positioned in three rows: three at the top, two in the middle, and two at the bottom. The central figure in the top row is slightly elevated above the two flanking him. All figures wear long, dark robes with lighter undershirts and sashes, and tall, striped hats with flat tops and ear flaps. Each figure has a mustache and a small beard, and holds a long, narrow, light-colored object, possibly a tablet or scepter, vertically in their hands. The robes show visible folds and some decorative elements around the necklines and sashes. The hats feature distinct horizontal stripes. The swirling clouds are lighter in tone than the figures' dark robes, creating contrast. The clouds fill the background and form a base beneath the figures' feet.
