Episodes from Mani's Missionary Work is a Manichean silk color painting drawn in the coastal area of southern China during the yuan to ming period.

The first scene in the top position depicts five ships sailing on the sea, carrying Mani and his followers (believers).

Mani is standing on the bow of the ship on the left, wearing a white robe with red rims unique to Manichaeism, with a green halo behind his head.

On the left, you can see Mani leading seven priests and four soldiers with bald heads, and on the right is a group of gods who greet them, riding two colorful clouds and fog from the sky.

The last scene can be seen as a summary of the entire painting, showing the success of the mission and the final establishment of the Mani Church.
