Archival Note Card | Buddha Room - Details From "Entering the Mother's Womb"

Walled courtyard where figures gather around a seat while clouds drift past.

This is an archival note card showing a detail from a Buddha room mural. It is archival paper. Buddhist mural painting often tells the life of the Buddha in a sequence of scenes, from his birth and youth to his awakening, so that viewers can follow the story. Broad card with a small circle at the left containing a seated figure under a canopy, surrounded by smaller people in blue and orange. A white pavilion tops the left, golden curtains hang at the right, and dense trees fill the back. It is 5 inches long and 7 high.

Crowded, colorful, and everything on its best behavior.
