The cover depicts Sakyamuni in the act of preaching. Sakyamuni is seated on a Lotus Throne under the bodhi tree. Flanking him are his four disciples and two Bodhisattvas. On top is the celestial dragon. Beneath the Lotus Throne is a rectangular stone platform in the middle of which are two boys offering incence with an upheld censer. On each side is a guardian and a lion.
