This painting shows a serene Buddha seated on a throne, surrounded by a halo. He is dressed in a simple robe and has his hands clasped together in front of him. The background is dark, which makes the Buddha stand out. The Buddha is surrounded by many figures, some of whom appear to be listening to him preach. The painting is very detailed, with intricate designs and patterns on the Buddha's robes and the surrounding decorations. The painting is a beautiful example of religious art from the 14th century.
