Description

Painting. Sakyamuni Buddha with two of the Luohans. Note again strange headdresses. 51-4-139 to 153 are a set. Sakyamuni Buddha in different aspects. Extremely interesting set, with long inscriptions and a pagoda on the back of each painting. (Although mounted alike, internal evidence suggests more than one set here).
