Panel Fragment

Panel of k'ossu depicting the Taoist Immortal Chung Li Chian, with his emblem,the fan. Chung, always represented as a fat man in need of a coat or vest, wears a brick-red scarf over his arms and belted at the waist to fall like a short skirt over pale blue trousers. He carries his fan in the right hand and stands against a mountainous background in shades of blue, green, tan, brown, yellow, and brick-red. Above his head is seen part of a double peach. The panel has been lengthened by a strip across the top.
