Brief Description
A two-panel painting depicts a spotted creature, five human figures, and flame-like shapes against a blue background
Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular painting is divided into two horizontal panels by a thin white and black line, all framed by a red border. The background of both panels is a solid blue. In the upper panel, a golden-brown, spotted, four-legged creature, possibly a leopard or tiger, stands on its hind legs on the left, facing right. It has a long tail and a red collar. Behind it, a smaller, golden-brown figure with a red head is positioned near the creature's back. Red and orange flame-like shapes rise from behind these two figures. To the right, two standing figures face left. They have dark skin, dark hair, and wear white garments with red patterns and small white dots. Each figure holds a long, thin, white object, possibly a staff or fly whisk. Red halos are behind their heads. The lower panel features a seated figure on the left, facing right, under a red archway with golden-brown decorations. This figure has dark skin, dark hair, and wears a white garment with red patterns and small white dots, seated on a patterned throne or cushion. Their right hand is raised, holding a small white object. A red halo is behind their head. To the right, two standing figures face left, mirroring those in the upper panel. They have dark skin, dark hair, and wear white garments with red patterns and small white dots. Each holds a long, thin, white object. Red halos are behind their heads. All figures and the creature are outlined in black.
