Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Procession of Daoist Deities: Leaf 26

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tantric Buddhist and Daoist deities procession scene. The image depicts a group of eight figures, likely deities or spiritual leaders, in traditional Asian robes and headpieces, standing or walking on clouds. The figures are dressed in long robes with long sleeves, and some wear ornate headpieces or crowns. They carry staffs or scepters. A large flag or banner with a tassel and ribbons is carried by one of the figures. The background shows swirling clouds, with some areas of the image faded or worn. The artwork appears to be a traditional Asian-style drawing or painting on brown paper or silk.
