Visual Summary

Brief Description

A central red-robed figure sits on a platform, surrounded by many figures and trees

Detailed Description

A colorful painting depicts a central figure and numerous other figures, set within a landscape featuring a building. In the center, a large, multi-tiered wooden building with a red roof and blue and green panels houses a figure with light skin and a red robe, seated cross-legged on a raised platform, facing forward. This central figure has a halo around its head. Several figures in yellow robes are seated on the platform around the central figure, some kneeling, some cross-legged, all facing inward. To the right of the building, a large group of figures in yellow robes stands or kneels on a lower platform, also facing left towards the central figure. The ground is yellow-brown, with several green trees with dark trunks. One tree on the left has small pink flowers. A white, ornate staircase leads up to the building from the foreground. A dark blue sky is visible above the building and trees. The bottom section of the image contains multiple lines of text in an unknown script, appearing on a light yellow background.
