Sutra Cover
Rectangular black and white image of a patterned fabric titled "Sutra Cover" by an unknown artist. The fabric is white with a repeating black pattern. The pattern features a mythical creature with the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, scales, and a horn protruding from its forehead. The creature's body curves and bends amidst curved stems with blossoming flowers and foliage. The creature appears four times, two facing left and two facing right, evenly spaced across the fabric. The fabric's edges are slightly curved and shadowed, suggesting it is rolled or folded. The background behind the fabric is gray.
