Description

Tibetan painting. Sakyamuni Buddha with two more Luohans. Strange headdresses on the green women (repeated in others of this set) which might be a help in locating the place of origin. Part of a set 51-4-139 to 153 of Sakyamuni Buddha in different aspects. Long inscription with pagoda on back of each. All mounted alike but maybe more than one set according to internal evidence.

Credit Line Gift of Mrs. Robert R. Service, 1951
