Bodhisattva and attendants, Yuan dynasty painting

A hanging scroll shows a richly robed bodhisattva at right, holding a vase, with a smaller attendant at left and a second attendant partly behind. Golden jeweled crowns, flowing red and green garments, and a tall ornate canopy against a brown ground frame the figures. The painting appears to be ink and color on silk.
