A horizontally oriented gum tempera and ink painting on a weathered palm leaf features blocks of dense black script bordered by red lines. In a square panel with a vibrant red background, Hemachandra, a man with a light skin tone, sits facing right. Before him, King Kumarapala, with a darker skin tone, kneels with hands clasped in prayer. A tiny figure stands behind the teacher. A circular binding hole is cut through the fragile leaf.
