Tibet Guge 07 Tsaparang Red Temple 03 Door Carving  [18 of 45]


Its pillars are sculpted with floral motifs and covered up with small figures worked out with great delicacy … Above, in a square frame, the Buddha seated in the posture of meditation; on his sides two small figures of gods who hovering in the air play the trumpet by way of homage. - Giuseppe Tucci: The Temples of Western Tibet and their Artistic Symbolism (1935).
