Numerous robed figures move around buildings, bridges, and a river on a shimmering gold background
Detailed Description
A horizontal image features a shimmering gold background that covers the upper and lower portions. A central scene unfolds across a light brown ground, populated by numerous figures, buildings, and natural elements. On the far left, a large building with a dark brown, multi-tiered roof and light yellow walls is partially visible, surrounded by green, undulating hills. A narrow blue river flows from the left, curving towards the center, where it passes under two arched wooden bridges. Several figures, dressed in various colored robes (red, blue, green, white, black, orange, brown), are seen walking on and around these bridges and buildings. Some figures carry objects or wear wide-brimmed hats. In the middle ground, more buildings with dark brown roofs and light yellow walls are arranged, connected by wooden walkways. Figures are seen walking and standing on these platforms and the ground. To the right, the river continues, and more figures are depicted, some in groups, others individually. Several small, green, stylized pine trees are scattered across the landscape, particularly on the right side. On the far right, a vertical column of faint, dark, illegible script is visible.
