Ornate blue and gold carriage with canopy, pulled by stylized animal and figures, on a scroll
Detailed Description
This vertical scroll painting features an elaborate, ornate carriage and its accompanying figures and animal against a muted brown-gold background. The upper portion of the scroll is mostly blank, with vertical text visible in the upper right corner that reads "普賢菩薩行願品". The main subject, a large carriage, dominates the lower two-thirds of the composition. The carriage is highly decorative, featuring a prominent blue-teal and gold color scheme. At the top of the carriage is a multi-tiered canopy, adorned with blue and gold patterns and small hanging elements. Below the canopy, the main body of the carriage is intricately carved or decorated with swirling blue-teal motifs and gold accents, enclosing a central, lighter-colored platform or seat. The carriage appears to be pulled by a large, stylized animal, resembling an elephant, rendered in a similar muted gold tone as the background. This animal is also adorned with decorative elements, including red and blue straps and chains. Several smaller figures are partially visible around the base of the carriage and the animal. On the far left, a figure holds a large, round, fan-like object with radial red and blue patterns.
