Detailed Description
A vertical hanging scroll features a central painted image framed by patterned fabric borders. The top and bottom sections of the scroll are a light gold-tan fabric with a repeating circular pattern. Below the top gold-tan section is a horizontal band of dark green fabric with a gold floral pattern. Two narrow, vertical strips of dark, patterned fabric hang from the top gold-tan section, extending over the green band. The central painted image is bordered by a thin, dark frame.The painting depicts a light-skinned, seated figure against a dark background. The figure has dark hair and simple facial features. A large, dark circular halo is behind the figure's head, and a larger, lighter, almond-shaped aura extends behind the body. The figure wears a reddish-brown robe draped over one shoulder, leaving part of the chest exposed. The right hand is raised with the palm facing outward, and the thumb and index finger touch. The left hand rests on the lap, holding a long, thin, light-colored object that extends downwards. The figure sits on a multi-tiered, ornate pedestal. The top tier appears to be a dark lotus base. Below it are several rectangular tiers, some with red and green accents and decorative patterns. Green, leafy elements, possibly lotus leaves, emerge from the left side below the pedestal.
