Descripción de la imagen
The image shows three figures depicted in an illustrative, stylized form. The central figure stands facing forward with a halo around their head. They have short, dark hair and notable features and are partially unclothed. The figure wears a yellow garment from the waist down and has red markings on their skin. Flanking the central figure are two other figures wearing tunics; one is in gray and yellow with stripes on their tunic, yellow leggings, and holding a green object, while the other wears a red tunic with beige leggings and is looking towards the central figure. In the background, there is a green patch underfoot and lines suggesting script or decoration along the top edge in dark ink.
