Below, a majestic white elephant stands, adorned with elegant drapery, representing purity and strength. Adjacent to the elephant is a jubilant, Western-style monk, which adds an intriguing intercultural dimension to the piece, likely reflecting the artistic and religious exchange of the period. Marked with artist's name and seal as "Koudo" on the lower right side of the painting, this scroll is a fusion of traditional Buddhist iconography and subtle international influences. The detailed work captures the essence of the Bodhisattva's role in guiding followers towards enlightenment and the monk's delighted expression suggests the joy of spiritual discovery. With signs of aging such as surface wear, stains, and a tear at the top, the scroll is a testament to its historical authenticity. Scroll end is made from bone. Please examine the images closely.
