Detailed Description
A horizontal painting on light-colored, damaged fabric shows significant tearing, especially on the right side and top edge. The painting features three main groups of figures, rendered with black outlines and limited color, primarily red-orange and some light blue. On the far left, a male figure with a light complexion and a large, ornate headdress sits with a smaller female figure on his lap. He holds a leaf-like object in his right hand. Both figures wear elaborate jewelry and garments with red-orange accents. Below them, a stylized animal, possibly a lion or horse, is depicted. To the right of this pair, a standing female figure with a light complexion and an ornate headdress faces forward, holding a small object in her raised right hand. She wears a long, flowing garment with red-orange details. Below her, a stylized bird-like creature is visible. Further to the right, a multi-armed figure with a light complexion and an elaborate headdress sits on a decorative throne. This figure has multiple arms, holding various objects, and wears intricate jewelry and garments with red-orange accents. The throne is highly detailed with architectural elements. Scattered between the main figures are smaller, less detailed motifs, including what appear to be miniature stupas or shrines, and floral elements. Above the central standing figure, some faint, dark text is visible. Along the bottom edge of the fabric, below all the figures, a line of dark script is present. The rightmost portion of the fabric is heavily torn and fragmented, with only faint traces of figures remaining.
