The central figure is depicted in traditional attire, holding a flower and a sheathed sword, surrounded by a vibrant green backdrop and fine floral detailing. The panel is framed by numerous smaller painted vignettes of courtly men and women, each seated or standing within stylized archways, creating a richly patterned border that enhances the overall composition.
