Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features a standing figure and text on a dark gray background, framed by decorative borders. The top border is a narrow band with a dark floral pattern on a light background. Below this, the upper portion of the scroll contains five vertical columns of text, written in dark characters on the dark gray surface. From right to left, the columns read: "道底十才帶", "点日少沙门", "設相高化犯", "吃道大愿寺", and "妙莊嚴". Below the text, a figure stands, facing slightly to the left, with her head bowed and eyes appearing closed or cast downwards. Her dark hair is styled in a bun on top of her head. She wears a dark, wide-sleeved robe over a lighter undergarment, with dark sashes hanging from her waist. Both hands are clasped together at chest level, holding a narrow, rectangular object vertically. The background behind the figure is a plain, dark gray. The main dark gray panel is flanked on both sides by a lighter gray border with a subtle, repeating pattern. A similar dark patterned border is visible at the very bottom of the scroll.
