The Bodhisattva sits atop a lotus flower, which has been balanced atop the Six-tusked White Elephant, with a beautiful, golden mandorla, and a lotus leaf 'parasol' in hand. This depiction aligns with early Heian examples, albeit not being produced on silk, and appears to be one that would have been part of an early Shakyamuni Triad painting, with the Buddha accompanies by both Fugen and Bosatsu.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThe painting has been neatly mounted onto a \u003ci\u003ekakejiku\u003c\/i\u003e (hanging scroll), with \u003ci\u003ejikusaki\u003c\/i\u003e (knobs) made of lacquered wood. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eOne painting mounted on a \u003ci\u003ekakejiku\u003c\/i\u003e (hanging scroll), 103 x 44.3 cm full size, 43 x 21.7 cm main painting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eThis painting is in very good shape, with some wear and old staining to the protective covers and fabric.
