The flanking panels are finished in black lacquer; the left panel features a gold-colored illustration of a single horse and calligraphic inscriptions, while the right panel bears the four large characters ”八駿全圖” and a small group of galloping horses at the base. The reverse side features three central panels with horses rendered in a traditional ink-wash style on a bone-colored background. The flanking panels on this side also feature gold-colored calligraphic script. All panels are framed with a gold-colored geometric fretwork border and the screen stands on integrated cloud-scroll style feet.
