About this work

This painting shows a man with a halo, sitting cross-legged. He wears a red robe and holds a sword and a skull cup. There are three other figures above him, each in a circle. The background is dark, with some lighter areas. The man in the center seems important, maybe a religious figure. The other figures above him might be important too, but it's hard to tell. The painting looks old and worn, like it's been around for a long time. If you like this painting, you might want to check out the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
