Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Procession of Daoist Deities: Leaf 3

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a procession of figures, possibly deities, on a worn and aged piece of paper. The artwork, titled "Procession of Daoist Deities: Leaf 3," appears to be created in a traditional East Asian style. The artwork measures nearly square in shape with a white border. The paper background is a light brown color with darker brown spots and patches of wear and tear throughout. Multiple figures are drawn with black ink; they appear to be moving in a procession from right to left. Some are holding banners or other objects; others have elaborate headdresses. The figures are dressed in traditional robes. A large building or structure is visible on the left side. The overall atmosphere suggests a ceremonial or ritualistic scene, possibly related to Daoist or Buddhist themes.
