A vertically oriented ink and gold painting on silk portrays the Shakyamuni Triad. Shakyamuni sits centrally atop an ornate, tiered pedestal, his light skin tone framed by golden rays radiating from a circular halo. To the left, a light-skinned figure is seated upon a dark lion, while to the right, another rests on a white elephant. A patterned floor stretches across the foreground beneath the figures against a dark background.
