This stylised primate portrait combines deep purple tones with ornate gold religious details, featuring a tall mitre and richly patterned robes.
The image shows a close-up animal face wearing an elaborate curved headdress, with layered clothing and a central gold emblem below the chin.
A rich plum-purple background is contrasted by warm gold ornamentation, pale cream highlights, and darker brown-black shading across the figure’s face and robes.
