Brief Description
A horizontal scroll painting showing a procession of people, oxen, carts, a seated figure, and text
Detailed Description
A horizontal scroll features a central painted panel with text, bordered by decorative fabric. The central panel depicts multiple figures, oxen, and carts, moving generally from left to right, ending with a group gathered around a seated figure on the far right. On the left, two figures, one in a dark robe and another in a light blue robe, carry a red, open palanquin-like structure over a stylized blue and white wavy landscape element, possibly a river or path. To their right, a reddish-brown ox with white horns pulls a two-wheeled cart with a green canopy. A figure in a red robe sits atop this ox. Following this, another reddish-brown ox pulls a similar two-wheeled cart with a green canopy, with a figure in a blue robe walking alongside it. Further right, a group of figures is assembled. A central figure, dressed in a light brown robe, sits cross-legged on a square, patterned platform. Several other figures, dressed in robes of red, blue, green, and brown, stand around the seated figure, some appearing to gesture or converse. The background of the scene is a light, off-white color, with sparse, stylized trees. Below and to the right of the figures, a substantial block of vertical text in black ink occupies the lower right portion of the central panel. The entire central panel is framed by a green border adorned with a gold floral pattern. This is further framed by wider brown fabric borders, also featuring a subtle gold floral pattern, at the top and bottom of the scroll.
