The Goddess Vasudhara Flanked by Kubera and a Fragmentary Durga
The image depicts a worn, aged piece of paper with a drawing of three figures. The paper is rectangular but has rough, torn edges and a few tears. The drawing is divided into three main sections. On the left, two figures sit together; the one on the left appears to have four arms and sits with the other figure, who also has four arms. Both figures wear orange and red clothing and have circular decorations behind their heads. A red flower-like object is drawn in the upper-left corner. In the center, a figure sits cross-legged, wearing an orange robe and holding an object in one hand. This figure also has a circular decoration behind their head. On the right, a figure sits on a platform with their legs crossed; they have four arms and wear a circular decoration behind their head. The figure's clothing is primarily orange and red. There are various other objects and symbols around the figures, including what appears to be a line of text at the bottom of the paper written in a non-Latin script. The background of the paper is a light brown color, suggesting age.
