There are two green cloths, two purple cloths and four yellow cloths. One of the green cloths depicts a celestial being in charge of music, which is represented with a musical instrument in its mouth, while one of the purple cloths shows part of Buddha sitting on a lotus pedestal. These green and purple fragments are regarded to have been part of wide embroidered Buddha cloths based on the width of the remaining cloths. On the other hand, since both edges of the cloths remain for the yellow cloths and show part of a tennne (a strip of ornamental cloth) and part of a lotus pedestal, it is safe to say that the width of these embroidered Buddha cloths was narrow.
