A beige handscroll depicts a sequence of seated figures with light skin tones wearing muted robes and oversized red seals (see "Inscriptions"). Figures float against the paper background, separated by large rectangular and circular seals filled with stylized script. Vertical columns of black calligraphy flank the scene on the far left, and a dark blue and gold patterned border finishes the scroll on the right.
