The Blind Prince

The image shows a central seated figure on an elevated throne-like chair. The central figure has a beard and curly hair, dressed in a robe, holding a long staff. Surrounding him are at least fifteen standing individuals, most with beards and curly hair, wearing long robes and cloaks. Some figures are closely positioned together. In the background, there is an architectural structure with columns and arches, with a draped cloth above the group. Inscriptions in frames at the base and side of the image, two arches in the background.
