Visual Summary

Brief Description

Multi-tiered painting with a central white temple, surrounded by figures, smaller shrines, and architectural elements

Detailed Description

A vertical rectangular painting features a complex, multi-tiered composition dominated by a large, white, domed temple structure with a red base in the center. This central temple is flanked by numerous smaller, multi-tiered shrines and buildings, forming an intricate architectural arrangement. White staircases and pathways connect different levels of the structure. Above the central temple, and extending upwards, are multiple horizontal tiers of smaller shrines, each containing various figures. These tiers are separated by dark green or blue-grey bands. The uppermost sections of the painting, both within the central composition and along the red border, are densely populated with small figures, including various human-like and animal-like figures, engaged in diverse activities. The color palette includes prominent reds, greens, blues, and whites. Many figures are depicted in various poses, some standing, some seated, and others in dynamic action. The wide red border surrounding the main scene is also filled with a continuous frieze of small figures. The lowest section of the painting shows a horizontal band with more figures and what appears to be a body of water or a landscape with small creatures.
