F Series (F1-F2)

The F Series is distributed between only two scrolls with five courts on each, and while Yama and the Wheel-turning king do not preside over their own scrolls here, they still sit atop each of these scrolls. Here there is little room for gruesome tortures, and the emphasis is on the magistrates and their bureaucracy. (Image: 80 X 147 cm.)
