Detailed Description
A vertical image shows a scene with a man on the left and a fiery altar on the right, framed by an orange and green patterned border. On the left, a bald man with a short beard and mustache is positioned with his body angled towards the right. He wears a light green patterned robe over white undergarments, with his right arm and left leg exposed. His left leg is raised high, bent at the knee, as if kicking, while his right foot rests on a low, dark brown wooden platform. His face is contorted with an open mouth and wide eyes, and his hands are raised and open. To the right, a large, dark, swirling mass of smoke and red-orange flames erupts from a brown wooden altar. Within the inferno, a dark-skinned, fierce-faced figure, possibly a deity, is visible, holding a sword-like object. Papers are scattered across the lower portion of the image, some in neat stacks, others strewn loosely around the man's feet and near the altar. A black rectangular object lies among the papers near the altar. The background is a plain, light gray.
