Iconographic Drawings: Vaishravana, Yama, Ushnishavijaya, Chunda (?), and Buddha (recto)
The image shows a piece of aged, tan-colored fabric with frayed edges and holes, resembling handmade paper or parchment. The fabric is divided into sections by vertical creases, with five main sections visible. Each section contains simple line drawings in black ink featuring various figures. On the left section, a figure with a sword and another figure with a long curved object are depicted. The adjacent section shows a figure with a large curved object and another figure with their hands near their chest. The third section from the left features a figure with a large smile and a child, and another figure with one arm raised. The rightmost section depicts a figure sitting cross-legged with their hands in their lap. The drawings appear to be simple sketches or icons, possibly of religious or mythological significance, given the title and artist: Iconographic Drawings: Vaishravana, Yama, Ushnishavijaya, Chunda (?), and Buddha (recto). The background of the image is a plain white surface.
