A crowned figure on a white animal, surrounded by clouds and dragons, below three circular elements
Detailed Description
This vertical painting depicts a central, crowned figure seated on a white animal, set against a dark, wavy background. At the top, three circular elements are arranged horizontally: a white disc on the left, and two reddish-orange discs on the right, each resting on a decorative, petal-like support. The central figure faces forward, wearing an elaborate gold crown and robes of green, red, and gold. The figure holds a vertical sword in its right hand. A fiery red and gold aura surrounds the figure, which sits upon a large, swirling cloud formation. Beneath the figure, a white, four-legged animal, resembling a fox or dog, lies on its stomach, also resting on clouds. The animal has a collar with small red elements. Below the white animal, two green and red dragons emerge from swirling clouds, facing outwards to the left and right. The entire central composition is framed by a patterned inner border and a wider gold outer border. The dominant colors are gold, dark brown, red, green, and white.
