Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Procession of Daoist Deities: Lea
Six robed deities in ink line drawing float among stylized clouds across a tan paper ground, each in a different pose, several holding staffs, banners or implements. Small inscribed labels stand beside several figures. The fine, even contour lines and rhythmic drapery suggest a Southern Song album leaf.
Look closer: A small hanging lantern or ornament sits at the far left edge, partly cut off.
