Brief Description
Faint ink drawing of three robed figures on a light horizontal scroll and red seals
Detailed Description
A long, horizontal scroll features a faded ink drawing on light, tan-colored paper. The scroll depicts three standing figures, rendered in a very light, almost translucent ink, with significant areas of the drawing appearing worn or faded. On the far left, the first figure is a tall, robed individual facing forward, with a faint outline of a head and body. Darker, smudged marks suggest facial features and the folds of a garment. To the right of the first figure, a second, similarly robed figure stands, also facing forward, with a faint circular outline around its head. This figure also shows faint lines for facial features and clothing. Further to the right, a third, even fainter figure is barely discernible, appearing as a faint outline. The central and right portions of the scroll are largely blank, showing only the subtle texture of the paper and a few scattered, faint marks. On the far right, three red seals are stacked vertically. The top and bottom seals are square with intricate, unreadable characters. The middle seal is also square, outlined in red, and contains a single, larger, unreadable character. To the right of the seals, a dark brown vertical strip, possibly part of the scroll's mounting, runs along the edge, featuring faint vertical text in a lighter color.
