Visual Summary

Brief Description

A multi-limbed, multi-headed blue and red figure, standing over smaller figures, within a red aura

Detailed Description

A large, multi-limbed, multi-headed central figure stands against a red background. The central figure's body is split vertically, with the right side appearing blue and the left side red. The primary head is blue, adorned with an elaborate gold crown, and a smaller red head is positioned next to its left side. Numerous arms extend from the central figure, holding various objects such as a staff, a skull cup, a sword, a noose, a trident, a bow, and an arrow. The figure's legs, one blue and one red, are positioned over smaller, recumbent figures on a decorative base. The central figure is surrounded by a large, red aura with flame-like edges, outlined in gold, which fills most of the central panel. Above this main scene, a horizontal row of five smaller, seated figures is depicted, each within an arched niche against a dark green background. These figures vary in color, including red, gold, white, blue, and green, and are shown in seated poses with hands positioned on their laps. On either side of the central red aura, two additional smaller figures are placed within red oval frames, totaling four such figures. These side figures are also multi-limbed and appear in various postures. The entire composition is framed by a dark green border, with a decorative band at the very bottom featuring small, decorative patterns.
