DescriptionThe image is dominated by a decadently dressed human figure. The background is black, with a red circular object in the upper left corner of the work. The figure faces the right side of the image, the head turning back slightly. The figure wears a headdress reminiscent of an octopus. The attire of the figure is a somewhat ambiguous multi-layered, multi-colored ensemble boasting ribbons, strings of beads, and many patterns. The figure's right arm is bent at the elbow, the forearm extending forward. The right hand can be extending from the sleeve.
