Bejeweled Buddha Preaching

Cleveland Museum of Art

Bejeweled Buddha Preaching, a vibrant and ornate painting, depicts a central figure of Buddha adorned with jewels. He sits cross-legged on a red patterned dais with a halo behind him. Buddha wears a pink robe and holds his hands in a gesture. To his right, several figures in pink robes sit on a lower level. A border of small squares surrounds the central image. Each square contains a smaller image. The background of the painting is black. At the top, a row of figures in red and gold niches are seated. The painting includes gold accents throughout. The overall style suggests a Tibetan Buddhist artwork.
