Visual Summary

Brief Description

A standing robed figure with a large radiating halo, atop a lotus base

Detailed Description

A vertical, black and white image features a central standing figure. Behind the figure's head is a large, circular halo. From this halo, numerous straight, narrow rays extend outwards to the edges of the image, creating a fan-like or sunburst pattern. These rays alternate between dark and light tones, forming a striped background. The upper parts of the background show some lighter, irregular patches. The figure is slender and stands upright, facing forward. It is depicted in outline, with internal lines suggesting flowing robes that fall in vertical folds. The head is topped with a small, indistinct crown or headdress. The facial features are not clearly visible, appearing as a dark silhouette within the halo. The arms are held close to the body, with hands possibly clasped or in a gesture, though details are faint. The figure stands on a large, stylized lotus blossom. The lotus has multiple layers of petals, with the upper petals curving outwards and downwards, forming a platform for the figure's feet. The petals are outlined and show some internal detailing. The entire image is rendered in shades of black, white, and gray.
