The Thangka by an unknown artist depicts a large central figure of a man sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower. He wears an orange robe and has a long yellow beard. A green and pink halo surrounds his head. He sits on a blue and white lotus flower. The background is filled with numerous smaller scenes showing people in orange robes, green trees, orange buildings, pink clouds, and blue sky. The entire image is bordered by a wide yellow frame, which is itself surrounded by a narrower orange frame with a patterned border. The artwork appears to be done on fabric and is framed by a dark patterned material.
