Two long, narrow, vertical panels with a beige background and a gold border at the top and bottom. The panels are side by side with a thin black line separating them. The panels feature black calligraphy written in a vertical line down the center. The characters on the left panel are smaller and more uniform compared to those on the right panel. The right panel has slightly larger characters. The beige background displays thin darker vertical lines with very thin horizontal lines. A light brown hue dominates the beige background. The gold border shows signs of aging and wear. The artist's name, Gukyoku Reisai, and the title, "Buddhist Maxim on the Saving Power of Amida," relate to this image.
