Page of a Pilgrim’s Visiting Album

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two gold-colored figures of Buddhist deities on a dark background, each with a large halo behind their head. The figure on the left has their right arm raised and their left arm down, while the figure on the right has their left arm raised and their right arm down. Both figures wear long robes with intricate designs. Each figure stands on a raised platform. There are lines of gold text at the top and bottom of the image. The image appears to be an old, worn painting on a rectangular piece of material, possibly silk or paper, with visible signs of aging and wear.
