A horizontally long handscroll depicts various scenes with people with light skin tones wearing draped robes in muted blue, white, black, and red robes. People and bestial demons gather inside wood-framed buildings on the right, while they descend in the fighting toward the left. The scenes are outlined in black against the weathered, beige background of the paper.
