Amitabha triad

Unidentified artist

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a large painting of three figures. The central figure sits on a throne-like object, wearing a pink robe with gold accents. The figure has a halo and appears to be bald with a small amount of black hair on top. Two smaller figures stand on either side, wearing long robes with floral patterns and halos. The background of the painting is dark brown with a thin gold border. The border around the image appears to have a pink and gold design. The painting seems to be done in a traditional Asian style.
