The Parinirvana of the Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a central figure lying down, surrounded by numerous other figures. The dominant colors used are orange, black, and beige. The central figure is positioned horizontally, with their head on the left side. The background features clouds and a sun in the top left corner. Surrounding the central figure are people dressed in robes, some of whom appear to be mourning or paying respects. There are also various animals present, including horses and deer, at the bottom of the artwork. Three people are standing on a platform at the top right. The overall composition suggests a scene of significance, likely related to the title "The Parinirvana of the Buddha".
