Avalokiteshvara found in Dunhuang Caves, China; 910 CE.
The central figure of Avalokiteshvara has his usual attribute of Buddha Amitabha on his head-dress. He stands upon a floating lotus, holds a willow spray in his left hand and a flask in his right. An inscription on the back of the painting identifies the shaven-headed figure as the Very  Reverend nun Yanhui, the young man on the right is the probationary chamberlain Zhang Youcheng.       OA 1919.1-1.014
