Visual Summary

Brief Description

Painted horizontal panel: figures dancing, playing instruments on red ground, around a dark hole.

Detailed Description

This horizontal, rectangular panel features a continuous painted scene against a muted red background, framed by dark brown borders. A prominent circular, raised element with a central dark hole is positioned slightly to the right of the panel's horizontal center. The scene depicts a series of stylized figures, primarily in shades of gold, red, green, and black, with light skin tones, except for one dark-skinned figure. From left to right, the composition unfolds with a sequence of standing and seated figures. On the far left, a seated figure appears to be playing a drum. Following this are several standing figures, some with raised arms in dance-like poses, and one holding a bowl or basket. Immediately to the left of the central circular element, two figures face each other, possibly interacting or dancing. To the right of the central element, the figures are predominantly seated. The first is a multi-armed figure, light-skinned, seated on an ornate, gold and red seat, holding various objects. Next, a seated figure plays a stringed instrument. Following this is a dark-skinned, multi-armed figure, also seated on an ornate base, holding an object resembling a sword and other items. Another seated figure playing a stringed instrument is positioned next. The scene concludes on the far right with two seated figures, both holding drum-like instruments and appearing to play them. The figures wear elaborate clothing and headwear, adorned with intricate patterns and jewelry.
