Sudhana and a buffalo, folio 115 (recto) from a Gandavyuha-sutra (Scripture of the Supreme Array)
Long, rectangular piece of aged paper with rough edges and holes along the top. Black text written in a foreign language, possibly an ancient script, covers most of the paper. A colorful illustration of a man and a buffalo is centered, set against a red background with green and blue accents. The man, on the left, wears a white garment and a blue crown; he has one arm around the buffalo's neck. The buffalo, on the right, is mostly white with a few darker patches and a green and red floral arrangement on its head.
