Generation prompt
Full-wall mural repeating across the surface: rows of azurite and malachite figures on an earth-red ground, scarves looping S-shaped, outlines thick and even, gold leaf flaked; surface covered in fine cracks and smoke stains, edge-to-edge repetition with no focal point; flat shadowless light. Avoid depth perspective and realistic skin.
