A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on a palm leaf features columns of black Sanskrit script. Two circular holes and a central illustration divide the text. In the middle, Samantabhadra sits cross-legged against a red background framed by a dark blue, cloud-shaped border. The weathered, tan leaf shows frayed edges and varying textures across its surface. The dense script flows around the binding holes and central figure.
