Mandala of Vishnu is a 1691 unspecified by Unknown, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting is a mandala, a spiritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism. It's square, with many layers of images. At the center is a god, probably Vishnu, with four arms and a crown. He's surrounded by other figures, some of whom are also gods. The background is red, with gold details. The painting has many small pictures around the edges, showing different scenes and figures. Some of these might be other gods or goddesses, while others could be ordinary people. The colors are mostly red, gold, and black, which gives the painting a rich, luxurious feel.
