Numerous figures in traditional attire on and around a long wooden bridge over water
Detailed Description
A long, light-colored wooden bridge spans across a dark blue body of water. The background features large, undulating gold-colored areas that appear as cloud-like shapes defining the ground and parts of the sky. Dark blue areas appear as water beneath the bridge and as sky above it. Numerous figures, dressed in traditional garments of various colors including white, red, brown, and patterned fabrics, are depicted on and around the bridge. On the far left, two figures sit on the gold-colored ground. A figure in white stands on the bridge, facing left, while another figure in gold and brown stands further right on the bridge, facing towards a group. The central panels show several groups of figures on the bridge, some leaning on the railings. Below the bridge, in the dark blue water, several gold-colored fan shapes appear to be floating. On the far right, a group of figures sits on the bridge near a patch of green foliage, with another figure standing nearby. The bridge itself has a light wooden color with dark red railings and supports.
