The leaf bears no inscription or seal of the artist. The hands of this Buddha are raised in Abhaya and Varada Mudras position. The Buddha sits on the lotus seat. There is a halo behind the Buddha's head. The lotus seat is adorned with a curtain above. The figures' faces look dignified, and the drapery of their clothing is depicted with smooth and round brushstrokes, which reflects the style of early figure painting. The Tibetan manuscripts are on both sides of the painting.
