Description: | This long scroll has a dark green patterned silk background with some staining evident at the base. The centre panel has a dark brown background surrounded by an orange and jade green patterned border. The image shows a seated Buddha figure that sits cross-legged on a four-legged chair in the form of a lotus flower. It is intricately designed and decorated. The figure wears robes of dark red and cream, that are highly decorated and jewelled. The fine facial features show arching eyebrows, narrow eyes and small red lips. Jewels and decorations embellish the hair. A tripartite halo feature surrounds the figure. This is quite a dark image but is opulent and highly decorated.
