A hanging scroll depicts the Wisdom King Aizen Myōō, a figure with red skin and six arms, seated cross-legged on a lotus throne atop a tiered pedestal. Aizen Myōō has a golden halo behind his head and sits beneath an ornate canopy against a dark background. The scene is framed by decorative borders and mounted on a large green textile with two ribbons at the top and a dark roller at the bottom.
