Seated figure with long black hair and elaborate robes below a golden disc and stylized clouds
Detailed Description
A vertical composition depicts a seated figure against a dark background. The figure, positioned in the lower half of the composition, faces slightly to the right with eyes closed and a neutral expression. Their skin is pale, and long, straight black hair cascades over their shoulders and down their back. They wear voluminous, layered robes, primarily in shades of brown and gold, with prominent accents of dark red, white, and dark blue. The sleeves and lower edges of the robes are wide and flowing, creating a broad, rounded silhouette. Above the figure, the background is a deep, dark brown or black. In the upper center, a large, circular golden disc is depicted with subtle texture. Below the disc, a dark vertical structure, possibly a pillar or fence post, rises from a horizontal band that spans the width of the composition. Stylized white, cloud-like or wave-like forms are visible on either side of this structure, against the dark background. The horizontal band below these forms features small, square, patterned motifs. The composition is framed by a decorative border at the top, featuring gold patterns on a dark red ground, and plain gold-colored borders on the sides. The very bottom edge has a striped pattern.
