English: Pair of Manuscript Covers with Buddhist Scenes, 2. Nepal (Kathmandu Valley). Distemper on wood, 2 1/4 x 12 15/16 in. (5.7 x 32.9 cm). At the far left, a bodhisattva adores Prajnaparamita, the Goddess of Transcendent Wisdom, seated in a shrine. In the center, the Buddha in a former life receives a gift of honey from a monkey. To the left of this scene, a figure, possibly a Buddha, sits on and leans against a cropping of rock while another figure appears before a cloth screen. At the right, a woman emerges from a palace and walks toward two seated figures, observed from above by two gods. |
