A tapestry from the film, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the tapestry is rectangular, and composed of many individual squares with small holes dotted at each corner to suggest a woven textile texture, and is visually split in two diagonally, in the top left, it has a blue background, with a figure of a women with red hair in a white robe, the women's head and torso are human, with her head in profile pointing left, but her arms and legs invoke a stylised bird's, with her arms the spars of a bird's wing, with white feathery wings filling the triangle between her arms and hips, making her look angelic. Her left leg grips a stylised, gold coloured, heart shaped plant in its talon. The bottom right diagonal of the tapestry has a red background and depicts an armored/metallic dragon or two headed snake, the two heads coming to face each other in a U, the open end of the U pointing down. Between the heads, a longsword points upwards, its blade is silver or white, the dragon is gold.

Really like subtle media wallpapers, and Nausicaä's world design and background art is gorgeous, my favourite aesthetic.

it is! on X11 i get it done with feh --bg-fill --no-fehbg --randomize ~/.wallpapers, and a bit more manually on Wayland + Niri:

walp=$(ls ~/.wallpapers | sort -R | head -n1) swaybg -m fill -i "~/.wallpapers/$walp"
