Their dark hair is loosely undone and windswept, decorated with small pink blossoms and sprigs of green leaves tucked among the strands, and small swallows perch delicately in the hair as if they belong there. Their eyes are a pale washed blue, wide and glassy, lips parted slightly as if mid-breath or mid-word. Delicate blue floral tattoos or painted markings dot their cheeks and forehead, adding to the ceremonial feeling of the whole composition. Long elaborate braids hang down from both sides of their head, each one wrapped and adorned with intricate silver metalwork fittings, dangling chains, and vivid blue tassels that swing heavily at the ends. A richly detailed silver collar piece sits across their chest, its surface covered in fine ornamental patterning. her left hand is raised near their face, nails long and painted blue, fingers loose and graceful. A large sheer deep blue veil drapes dramatically over and around them from above, its surface printed with traditional dragons and floral and bird motifs in indigo and white, the cloth billowing and framing the entire figure like a canopy or curtain pulled partially aside. Hanging decorative tassels and beaded ornaments dangle at the right edge of the frame. The background is a warm aged parchment tone overlaid with faint blue textile patterns, giving the whole scene the feeling of an ancient illustration pulled from something sacred.
