Picture woven with silk threads of seven colours, wound gold thread and flat gold strip on a rich blue satin ground. The image shows a figure of Bodhisattva Guanyin, seated on a lotus throne in a mandorla with wave patterns, with two hands pressed together in the 'anjali mudra', and the other two holding prayer beads and a lotus. He is clothed in garments of silk with key, cloud-band and pomegranate decoration, a narrow fur, and a profusion of jewellery. Flowers and leaves form the two spandrels above the mandorla.
Surrounding the picture is a four inch wide woven frame containing lotus flowers connected by scrolling tendrils all in gold. In a plain panel beneath the frame are three large lotus blossoms with cloud-band tendrils making square formations.
The picture is woven in white, pale blue, mid-blue, blue-green, buff, pale yellow and pale orange silk, gold thread and gold strip, bound by a portion of the silk wrap in 1/3 twill, on a dark blue satin ground.
