Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular painting depicts a scene with multiple figures under a band of text at the top. The top section features a dark rectangular band containing lines of text in an unfamiliar script. Below this, the main scene unfolds. The background is a light gray, with several dark, wavy, cloud-like forms arching across the upper portion of the scene. In the center, a man and a woman embrace. The man, positioned slightly to the left, has dark hair and wears a long, light-colored garment. His right arm is around the woman's waist. The woman, to his right, also has dark hair and wears a patterned garment. Her left arm is around the man's neck, and her right hand holds a dark, elongated, club-like object vertically. Surrounding the central couple are seven other women, all with dark hair and wearing long, patterned garments. On the left, one woman stands behind the couple, holding a small, dark object. Further left, another woman stands with her right arm raised. Below her, a smaller woman sits or kneels, holding a dark, cylindrical object. On the right, one woman stands behind the couple, looking towards them. Further right, another woman stands, holding a small, dark object. Below her, a smaller woman stands, holding a dark, cylindrical object. In the foreground, a dark, elongated, cylindrical object lies horizontally on the light gray ground.
