Brief Description
A multi-armed figure with red flames stands between two smaller figures in a scroll painting
Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting features a dominant, dark-skinned central figure surrounded by vibrant red and orange flames, flanked by two smaller figures, all set against a dark background. The central figure, positioned in the upper half of the composition, has multiple arms, with at least four clearly visible. It holds a sword in its upper right hand and a looped chain or rope in its upper left hand. The figure is adorned with intricate gold jewelry, including necklaces, armbands, and earrings. Its face is dark with three visible eyes. The red and orange flames emanate from behind and around the figure, forming a large, upward-reaching halo that extends towards the top and sides of the dark background. Below the central figure, the ground is dark and indistinct. To the lower left, a smaller, red-skinned figure stands, facing towards the central figure. This figure wears red and dark patterned garments and holds a long, thin, golden staff vertically. To the lower right, another smaller, light-skinned figure stands, also facing towards the central figure. This figure wears patterned garments in shades of brown, red, and white, and appears to be holding an indistinct object or making a gesture with its hands. The main painted area is framed by a narrow, dark green border with subtle gold patterns, which is then surrounded by a wider, golden-yellow border featuring repeating gold floral or cloud motifs.
