Detailed Description
A large gathering of people is depicted in an outdoor setting, framed by decorative borders at the top and bottom. The background is a plain, light brown or gold color. On the right side, a two-story wooden building with a dark, tiled roof stands. Numerous figures are visible within the building, looking out from both the upper and lower floors. On the lower floor, a man in a blue top and red pants sits on the edge, while others observe from behind a railing. The left and central portions of the image are dominated by a dense crowd of figures, all dressed in colorful, patterned robes of red, orange, green, blue, white, and black. Many wear elaborate headwear and have distinct hairstyles. Some figures hold staffs, banners, and musical instruments, including a large drum and a stringed instrument. A prominent group of women in similar patterned robes is arranged in rows in the lower-center. The figures are depicted in various poses, standing, kneeling, and sitting. In the bottom center, a low, dark, rectangular structure is visible, possibly a stage or platform. The top and bottom edges of the artwork feature a dark border adorned with intricate gold floral patterns.
