Shakya Yeshe (1354-1435). In this portrait of Shakya Yeshe, he is attired in a magnificently detailed robe with dragon and cloud designs, patterns and lotus motifs. Atop the head he wears a black crown, adorned with the five Buddhas; recorded as a gift from the Yongle Emperor. The lengthy woven title in Tibetan and Chinese, dates this slit-silk tapestry to the Xuande period (1426-1435).
