Two horizontal handscrolls depict people with light skin tones against a beige-brown paper background. In the upper scroll, figures in muted and red robes gather within wooden structures. Below, a dense crowd moves through a landscape grounded by green hills. Painted with delicate ink lines and color washes, the scenes flow horizontally to capture various activities and bustling movement. Muted tones dominate, punctuated by occasional vibrant, red accents.
