Amitābha Triad is a 1404 unspecified by Unknown, a ming_painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a tall hanging scroll: a golden Buddha floats on clouds, flanked by two holy figures in flowing robes. The painting was once thought to be Korean, but scholars now believe it’s Chinese. The colors are still bright after 600 years, and the tiny Buddha in the crown is a clue—it’s a signature detail of Avalokiteśvara. Look up china, ming dynasty (1368–1644) to see more scrolls like this.
