Visual Summary

Brief Description

A Buddha seated under a large tree, surrounded by many figures in a complex landscape

Detailed Description

The vertical image depicts a seated Buddha figure as its central element. In the upper-middle, a Buddha with a green halo and orange robes sits with legs crossed on a lotus throne, positioned beneath a large, ornate tree. The tree features numerous white flowers and intricate golden branches from which various decorative elements and strands of beads hang. Above the tree, a dark blue sky is filled with white clouds, each containing rows of small, robed figures. Below the central Buddha, the landscape transitions to green hills and tiered platforms. On either side, vast crowds of smaller figures, predominantly dressed in red and white robes, extend outwards and downwards across the terrain. These crowds appear to be seated or kneeling on the green ground. Further down, the image presents multiple distinct scenes. On the lower left, a large circular motif encloses many small figures, while other areas show buildings, rivers, and smaller groups of people within a green and brown landscape. The very bottom edge of the image features a narrow, dark horizontal band containing lines of small white script. The overall color palette includes dominant greens, reds, oranges, and blues.
