            十四世紀   The panel is finely embroidered in stem, satin and interlocking long-and-short stitches with
                   a central figure of Bodhisattva, most likely identified as Ichiji Kinrin (Ekaaksarausnisacakra).

                   gesture, and bears a serene facial expression with features picked out in human hair, beneath
                   a tall top knot adorned with a foliate crown, and backed by an elaborate aureole decorated
                   with a wave pattern simulating flames. The figure wears long, loose robes and celestial
                   scarves against a deep blue background on undyed silk tabby within an integral floral border,
