Brief Description
Faded linear drawing of a procession of multiple figures, some holding objects, under clouds
Detailed Description
A faded, monochromatic linear drawing depicts a horizontal procession of at least eight figures on a light brown or tan background. The figures, mostly standing and facing right, occupy the middle and lower portions of the image. They are rendered with thin, dark lines with minimal shading. All figures wear long, flowing robes with visible drapery folds. Many have elaborate headdresses. From left to right, the first figure holds a long, thin object. The second figure holds a long, flowing banner or piece of fabric that extends upwards. Further right, a figure holds a large, circular object, possibly a fan or mirror, on a pole. The figures' faces are simply drawn, showing eyes, noses, and mouths. The two figures on the far right appear to be male, with one having a beard and a tall, ornate headdress. Above the figures, several swirling, cloud-like forms are drawn. Below the figures, a horizontal structure resembling a railing or platform is visible, extending across the lower part of the composition.
