Detailed Description
A large central figure is seated on a multi-petaled, lotus-like seat, surrounded by twenty-four smaller figures arranged in rows below. The central figure has pale skin and wears an elaborate golden crown with multiple tiers and dangling ornaments. Their long, dark hair falls over their shoulders. They are dressed in flowing robes of green, white, and red, adorned with intricate patterns and jewelry, including necklaces and armbands. Their right hand is raised in a gesture, while the left hand rests on their lap. Behind the central figure is a large golden halo with radiating lines, set against a dark blue background. Below the central figure, twenty-four smaller figures are seated on a patterned ground. They are arranged in four rows, with six figures in each row, twelve on the left and twelve on the right of the central axis. Most of these figures are depicted with bald heads and simple robes in shades of brown, green, and red. Some figures hold small objects or have their hands in various gestures. Small white rectangular labels with black text are placed next to many of these seated figures. The ground they sit on features a repeating geometric pattern in green and gold. The entire composition is framed by a narrow golden border with a delicate floral or scroll pattern.
