Indian monk, incarnation of Guanyin/Avalokiteśvara.
The monk sits in the easy style of an Indian prince, on a rock with a ledge that serves as a footstool. His right arm makes a blessing-like variant of the abhaya mudrā, while the left holds a rosary in his lap. His skin is golden; his head is shaved, but he has straggly facial hair. His patched outer robe has a repeating pattern of distant hilltops above clouds, and be wears a black skullcap and shoes. The two standing attendants who look like maidens should be boys. They are the two who in the transfiguration scene vouchsafed the wives of Meng père et fils (later the first two Nanzhao rulers, see frame 103) were visible in clouds, one holding an iron staff, the other a square golden mirror. The two small kneeling figures at lower right are the two wives. Just above the bottom border are the monk's traveling gear, his flask and staff with bundles. The large object shown on edge above should be an oversized depiction of the container in which the two women brought food.
