A great tree rises from the center of the picture, its branches curling into hundreds of tight golden spirals that cover the whole surface. Small dark birds and tiny flower-like motifs sit among the curls.

Two figures stand at the edges, wrapped in robes of triangles, circles and mosaic-like rectangles in red, blue, green and gold. The flat, glowing ground and the dense ornament give the scene a jewel-like, ceremonial calm.
