Description
This mural is a replica exhibit based on the original Buddhist wall paintings found in the Mogao Caves, also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, located near Dunhuang, China.
The original murals were created between the 4th and 14th centuries, featuring rich iconography of Buddhist narratives, devotional figures, and multicultural artistic influences from the Silk Road.
This replica was produced for educational and exhibition purposes to promote awareness of Dunhuang’s cultural significance. While the physical replica is movable, the original artworks are considered immovable cultural heritage and are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
