Two robed figures walk on a golden path above clouds and water, within a patterned border
Detailed Description
A rectangular image depicts two figures in flowing robes walking on a golden, curved path above a body of water and clouds, all set within a decorative border. The figure on the right, slightly taller, wears a white robe and holds a string of beads. Her dark hair is pulled back. The figure on the left, slightly smaller, also wears a white robe with a visible red undergarment forming a flowing train behind her. Her dark hair is also pulled back. The golden path curves from the lower left to the upper right, appearing to float above light blue and gray water. White and gray clouds are prominent around the lower figure and extend to the right. In the lower right of the central scene, a dark, irregular shape floats on the water. The background of the central scene is a pale beige. Along the bottom left edge of the central scene, a vertical line of black text is followed by a red square seal. The central scene is framed by a narrow band of light green with small golden patterns. This inner frame is surrounded by a wider, multi-patterned border featuring vertical strips of white with blue stripes and white dots, interspersed with sections of green leaves and red berries on a light background. Similar floral and leaf patterns in green, gold, and red adorn the top and bottom sections of the outer border.
