Painting on pink silk depicting a procession including elephants and royalty. There is slight damage to the piece. The painting on the silk has numerous elements to it, there are a large quantity of men and women depicted around the borders, most of these figures may be dressed in similar garments however the colours are different. At either end of the piece the scene is different compared to the relative symmetry of the rest of the painting. The left side depicts a king on a throne whereas the right side depicts two people on a black elephant.
