Barbarian Royalty Worshiping the Buddha
"Barbarian Royalty Worshiping the Buddha" shows a seated Buddha in red robes presiding at the center of a painted section of this handscroll, surrounded by attendants and figures in long robes and hats. Their gestures suggest reverence, while columns of ink calligraphy on the left carry the scroll's text, painted in ink and color on silk.
Look closer: Red seals stamped along the right edge of the scroll mark its collection history.
