Visual Summary

Brief Description

A multi-armed red figure with a flaming aura stands on smaller figures, blue background

Detailed Description

The artwork depicts a central, large, red-skinned figure with multiple arms and a fierce expression, set against a light blue background. The figure's hair appears as flames, and it wears a crown adorned with skulls, along with numerous necklaces and bracelets of white beads and gold. Its many hands hold various objects, including a bow and arrow made of flowers. Behind the figure is a large, circular aura, primarily golden with intricate patterns, enclosing a lighter blue inner circle. The figure stands on several smaller, prostrate figures. Below the central figure, in the lower section of the image, are three prominent figures. The central one is a dark-skinned, multi-armed figure with a fierce expression, also adorned with jewelry, standing amidst swirling clouds. To its left, a light-skinned figure with a serene expression, wearing elaborate robes and a crown, rides a white horse-like creature. To the right, a red-skinned figure, similar in style to the central figure but smaller, also rides a horse-like creature. The lower background features stylized mountains and clouds in shades of green, blue, and white. The entire composition is bordered by a darker blue fabric.
