Visual Summary

Brief Description

A gold background with a suspended container emitting fire, a structure, and a five-pronged object

Detailed Description

The image features a textured gold background. In the upper left, a dark brown square container hangs from a thin dark line. It emits a vibrant red-orange flame or glow upwards. This container is suspended from a small hook, which attaches to a long, thin, dark brown pole extending diagonally towards the upper right. In the upper right quadrant, a dark cylindrical object stands next to a red-orange structure that resembles a sloped roof with vertical supports. Above these elements, in the far upper right, a vertical column of dark, stylized characters is present, with a smaller red rectangular mark below it. In the lower right, a red-orange object with five curved, radiating lines, resembling a rake or a fan, is depicted. This object is attached to a thin dark brown pole that extends diagonally upwards and to the left, crossing the lower part of the image.
