A horizontally oriented paper folio with weathered edges features panels of black script divided by vertical red lines. In the center, a red circle surrounds a small puncture. To our right, a figure with yellow skin sits cross-legged under a red canopy. Facing our left, they raise one hand, palm turned outward. The gum tempera painting utilizes flat, saturated colors and precise ink work to define the composition.
