Description
A standing figure with a rounded face, dark curled hair, and long dangling earlobes is shown in three-quarter view, head tilted upward, set against a plain yellow halo outlined in black. The robes are patterned in black, yellow, and grey with floral motifs on one side and a zigzag chevron pattern on the other leg, rendered in bold black outlines with flat color fills; a faint blue shadow extends beneath the figure. The print is mounted as a hanging scroll with grey cloud-patterned borders above and below the image.
