Visual Summary

Brief Description

A standing crowned figure with closed eyes holds a bowl, against a light background with flowers

Detailed Description

A vertical artwork depicts a standing figure against a light-colored background adorned with floral motifs. At the top, a decorative border features blue, red, and gold geometric and floral patterns. The central figure has light skin, with eyes gently closed and a small mouth. A golden crown with dark elements sits on the head, framed by a red and gold arch. Long earlobes are visible. The figure's bare chest is adorned with a gold necklace, and red sashes drape over the shoulders and arms. The right hand is raised with fingers extended, while the left hand holds a golden bowl. The lower body is covered by an orange skirt patterned with repeating blue and red floral designs. A dark sash is tied around the waist. The figure's feet rest upon two pink lotus blossoms. On either side of the figure, the light background is decorated with scattered pink, blue, and orange flowers and green leaves.
