The Earliest Confession Buddha Painting on HAR

The earliest Confession Buddha Painting on the HAR website, from the Guge Kingdom of West Tibet (14th - 15th century), depicts Shakyamuni Buddha as the central figure accompanied by the two principal students Shariputra and Maudgalyayana. The Thirty-five Buddhas (less Shakyamuni) are arranged in the registers at the top, two vertical sides and along the bottom of the composition.
