A vertically oriented painting on creased paper depicts the four-armed deity Hari-Hara seated cross-legged. The body is split vertically; on our left, the figure has pale blue skin and holds a stringed instrument. On our right, the skin is dark blue with a snake coiling behind the shoulder. Wearing a yellow, tiger-striped garment, the figure sits on a maroon platform. Fine white lines detail numerous necklaces and a crown-like ornament.
