A queen in ornate headdress and white feathered cloak holds out two metal trinkets. One is reminiscent of a biohazard symbol. The other is a star chart with two crosses. The beak of her mask and contour around her eyes stand out in muted gold. Otherwise the painting is very cool in tone. An opal is set on her forehead, over more feathers the sweep outward. White braid fall around her delicate, pale face. Placid green-blue water extends behind her to a sailboat and a tiered city that rises like a lopsided pyramid. A sun emerges from behind the city with another smaller orb not far ahead of it in ascension. In the upper right, a fan shaped spacecraft glides the heavens.
