This painting shows three figures standing in a row. The person in the middle sits on a throne, wearing green and orange robes and holding a book. The two figures on the sides stand on pedestals, one holding a golden box and the other a long scroll. Their faces are serious, and they all have golden halos around their heads. The background is a deep blue with some writing in gold. The colors are bright but faded in spots, and the figures look stiff and formal. The painting feels old, with some cracks and wear visible. If you like this style, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more pieces like it.
