Each of the Five Hundred Arhats bears its own name and practice; unfolding from this frontispiece, the sacred assembly appears in sequence in boundless variety. The frontispiece sets the guiding theme and leads the entire scroll; only together with the five hundred individual figures does the complete set stand whole. It is an indispensable part of this one-of-a-kind handscroll and essential to collecting the full work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted by Li Zongyi in the freehand Chinese ink (xieyi) tradition, the brushwork is fluent and ink tones layered from dense to pale; the blank paper breathes Zen. From this frontispiece to the five hundred sacred figures the whole scroll flows as one, blending monastic solemnity with literati ease — an original, non-reproducible hand-painted handscroll uniting faith, art and collectibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: approx. 100×50cm (4.5 square chi) | Traditional hand-painted Chinese ink Zen Buddhist handscroll frontispiece | On paper\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treascol Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410938773692,"sku":"TCArhats000","price":6900.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/6291\/0652\/files\/TCArhats000--100x50cm-4.5.jpg?v=1788610704","url":"https:\/\/treascol.com\/en\/products\/500-arhats-000","provider":"Treasure Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
