Notes about the Central Figure
Classification: Person
Gender: Male
Buddha Shakyamuni's birth scene with Maya giving birth from her side.
Notice the Khyung bird horns on the top of the stupas, this indicates that the painting was most likely done by a Bon artist that was not aware of the crescent moon and sun that is on the top of Buddhist stupas.
