This painting shows a bright red sky with a group of people below. At the top, a bearded man in a blue robe floats barefoot, his arms outstretched. Below him, a crowd in red robes gathers around a white cloth draped over a figure lying down. Two tall, white, curved shapes frame the scene like pillars. The floating man’s bare feet and raised arms stand out against the bold colors. The people below look up at him, some holding objects like books or lamps. The writing on the painting is in a script that looks unfamiliar. If this scene interests you, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like it.
