With intricate details meticulously captured by the artist, we can appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such magnificent clothing. Every fold and embellishment tells a story of tradition and symbolism. In this particular composition, our attention is drawn to the central figure playing the harp with utmost grace. The harmonious melodies produced by this instrument were believed to have divine origins, making it an integral part of religious ceremonies.
