The figure is rendered in gold and surrounded by a blue background with gold accents. A red border frames the figure on three sides. Above the figure, there are decorative elements including domed structures and smaller human-like figures. Below the figure, additional decorative elements are present. To the right of the figure, there is a page filled with black text written in a non-Latin script. The page has red circles on either side, with a red stripe down the right edge.
