Title

Eighteen Luohans, Scene Five: Imperial Figure Rising from the Waves

Description

Imperial figure (perhaps Cao Guo-qui, relative of a 10th century Emperor and patron of actors) rising from the waves to extend his ru-i scepter toward another Immortal seated on a mossy knoll. The ocean-borne Immortal is followed by three attendants, one bearing a bronze tripod, one a sword, and one a tide-compelling jewel. The Immortal on the shores is served by two attendants, one a boy and the other a warrior.
