Abstract Mixed Media Painting with Radial Symbolic Design

This appears to be a framed painting or mixed-media artwork, possibly on canvas or board, featuring abstract or symbolic imagery arranged in a radial design. The central motif is a dark brown, almost reddish-brown, oval shape with a stylized, perhaps smiling, face or mask-like design etched into it. This central piece acts as a focal point, with segments radiating outwards, reminiscent of a pie chart or a sun with outstretched rays. Each segment contains a unique abstract symbol or pictograph, executed in dark brown or black lines. The segments alternate in color between a creamy off-white and a light, pastel yellow, creating a checkerboard-like effect for the background of the symbols. The border of the artwork itself, before the frame, is a dark reddish-brown, consistent with the central oval, and features a subtle, wavy, decorative line along the top edge, adding a touch of embellishment. The lines defining the segments and the symbols within them appear to be hand-painted with varying degrees of thickness and perhaps some texture, indicating a hand-crafted approach. The overall style suggests a modern or contemporary piece, possibly influenced by tribal art, hieroglyphics, or abstract expressionism. Given the general lack of distinct brushstrokes or highly detailed rendering, it could be late 20th century to early 21st century. The colors are muted and earthy, contributing to a somewhat organic or primitive aesthetic. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The artwork is housed within a simple, narrow gold-colored frame, which shows minimal signs of wear. The visible surface of the artwork appears to be in good condition with no obvious tears, significant scratches, or fading, though the low resolution hinders a definitive assessment of minor wear or age-related patina.
