Detailed Description
The image is a vertical illustration on a light brown paper background. A central figure is depicted seated cross-legged, facing forward. The figure has light skin and a calm expression, wearing elaborate robes in shades of yellow, green, and red, adorned with jewelry. A large, ornate crown sits on the figure's head. Behind the figure's head is a circular halo in green and red, and behind the entire upper body is a larger, light blue oval halo. The figure's right hand holds a long, thin staff with a spear-like tip, which extends upwards. The figure is seated on a large, multi-layered lotus blossom with white petals outlined in black and green accents. Above the figure, to the upper left, are vertical lines of black text: "不畏金剛". To the upper right, also in vertical lines of black text, are the characters: "大精進并". Below the main lotus blossom, a smaller, stylized staff stands upright. This staff has a spear-like tip and a red ribbon tied around its shaft. It is rooted in a small, green, circular base, which rests on another multi-layered lotus blossom, similar in style to the upper one but smaller and with light blue accents. To the left of this lower staff, in vertical black text, are the characters: "種子". To the right of the lower staff, in vertical black text, are the characters: "三昧耶形". The overall palette includes muted tones of yellow, green, red, and blue against the light brown paper.
