A vertically oriented painting on silk depicts the Buddha, a figure with a light skin tone and a golden body seated cross-legged against a dark background. He holds both hands raised, a circular halo of blue, green, and gold rings framing his head. Curled white and pink clouds line the top edge, while blue teardrop-shaped petals fall around him above a border of small, dark trees lining the bottom of the scene.
