Visual Summary

Brief Description

Blue-skinned figure with red halo sits cross-legged, holding a lotus, on a script-covered scroll.

Detailed Description

The image displays a horizontal section of a light brown scroll. A central painting is enclosed within a vertical rectangular frame, bordered by thin red and black lines. The painting features a seated figure with light blue skin and dark hair. The figure is positioned frontally, seated cross-legged, with its right hand raised near its chest and its left hand resting on its left knee. It wears a red and gold crown, gold armbands, and a gold necklace. A red, flame-like shape forms a halo or aura behind its upper body. In its raised right hand, the figure holds a white lotus flower on a long stem. The background behind the figure is a light cream color, with faint gold patterns. To the left and right of the central painting, the scroll is covered with dense lines of black text in a script, arranged in vertical columns. These text sections are also bordered by thin red and black lines, similar to the frame around the central figure. The scroll material exhibits a worn appearance, with a slightly uneven texture and variations in its light brown color. The overall composition presents a central image flanked by written script.
