Several open pink flowers are visible, along with a few pink buds. Thin green stems rise from the bottom. In the lower-left area, two white, elongated, serpentine creatures are partially submerged in the dark brown water. Small, dark, circular shapes, possibly lily pads or seeds, are scattered near the bottom.The right scroll also features a cluster of pink lotus flowers and large green leaves, similar in appearance to the left scroll. Some of the pink flowers appear slightly faded. In the lower-right corner, a white bird, resembling a crane or egret, stands facing left with its head slightly lowered. Its feathers are rendered with visible texture.
