The image depicts a black and white thangka painting of Tsong Khapa, a Tibetan Buddhist master. Tsong Khapa sits cross-legged on a cushion in the center-right, wearing a hat and robes, with hands in a prayer-like gesture; he sits on clouds, with a halo behind his head. A figure sits on clouds to the top right; another figure sits cross-legged on clouds at the top center; and a figure with a bird-like appearance sits on clouds to the top left. A small circular inset shows a figure on the left side; another circular inset shows a figure surrounded by flames on top left. The bottom features a group of people amidst clouds and foliage. The background includes clouds, trees, and a building to the right. The border is textured gray.
