Panel from Painting of a Thousand-Armed Guanyin

The panel from a painting of a thousand-armed Guanyin by an unknown artist depicts a large figure with many arms. The main figure has a large circle behind it and is surrounded by smaller figures. The main figure is centered and has a large halo or circle behind it. The figure appears to have several arms. The figure wears red and blue robes. The background of the painting is a muted brown color with some blue and red accents. There are several smaller figures around the main figure, including three at the top and one at the bottom. These figures are also surrounded by halos or circles. The edges of the panel are rough and frayed, suggesting that it may be an old or damaged piece of art. The overall style of the painting appears to be traditional Asian, possibly Chinese or Tibetan. The panel has a red border around the edge.
