Heavenly Beings and the Seven Treasures of the Cakravartin
MONGOLIA
The colorful heavenly beings in this picture dance, play instruments, or hold up offerings. They wear headdresses, dhotis, and stoles, but have bare upper bodies. Canopies hang along the top of the picture. At the bottom, three of the seven treasures of a cakravartin are shown: a general, an elephant, and a horse. Tall flowering plants and colored clouds are painted in the background.
