This wooden panel is split into 12 small boxes. Each box shows people in bright colors—red robes, gold halos, and simple faces. Some hold bowls or books. Others stand near animals or gather in groups. The paint is faded but still pops against the dark background. Look closer at the halos. Every figure has one, even the ones in the bottom row. That’s a clue this shows holy stories, not regular life. Want to see more like this? Check out Museum of Ethnography for similar old religious art.
