Detailed Description
The artwork features twenty-five small, rectangular illustrations arranged in a symmetrical, cross-like pattern against a plain, light gray background. Each illustration is framed by a dark blue border and a wider reddish-brown outer border. The central vertical column contains seven illustrations. The top three show single, seated, red-skinned figures with multiple arms, some holding objects. The middle two show two seated figures, one with light skin and one with dark skin, embracing. The bottom two show single, seated, red-skinned figures, one with multiple arms. The central horizontal row contains nine illustrations. The central one is part of the vertical column. To its left and right are four illustrations each. These depict various seated figures, some single, some in pairs, with skin colors including yellow, blue, and green. Many have multiple arms and hold objects. Two additional illustrations are positioned above the horizontal row, one at the far left and one at the far right. These show single, seated, dark-skinned figures. At the very bottom, a row of six illustrations depicts standing figures. These figures have various skin tones, including light gray, blue, and brown, and are shown in different poses, some holding objects. The background within each small illustration is typically a solid color, often red or blue, with some having a patterned base.
