Ink line drawing of six robed Daoist deities drifting among swirling clouds, some holding staffs and weapons, with small.

Album of Daoist and Buddhist Themes: Procession of Daoist Deities: Lea

Six robed figures in fluttering garments stride or float across a field of swirling clouds, several carrying staffs, spears or weapons. Fine brush outlines in ink on paper show armor, sashes and flowing hair, with small column inscriptions naming each deity.

Look closer: A red seal impression sits in the lower left corner beside the figures' clouds.
