Description | Painting. Sakyamuni Buddha with two more luohan. The Five Dhyani Buddhas overhead, a choir of gods (devas) at upper sides. Below, demon-guardians throwing sinners into a river. Part of a set (51-4-139 to 153) of Sakyamuni Buddha in different aspects. Extremely interesting set, with long inscriptions and pagodas on the back of each painting. (Although mounted alike, internal evidence suggests more than one set here). |
