The image shows a scroll with two illustrations and accompanying text. The scroll's background is aged beige paper. Two seated figures are illustrated. The figure on the left is seated on a platform supported by multiple small humanoid figures; the figure on the right sits on a lotus flower base. The figure on the left has four arms and an oval halo; the figure on the right has two arms and a circular halo. Both figures wear orange and red clothing, with the figure on the left having a green body and the figure on the right having a beige body. The figures have elaborate headpieces. The text on the scroll is written in black and red ink and appears to be in a non-Latin script. The text is arranged in vertical columns on either side of the illustrations.
