Se sabe quién es el propietario. Si hoy está expuesta, el museo no lo dice, y a adivinar no nos enseñaron.
In this scroll painting, Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion, descends from Paradise to receive the soul of a Buddhist
who has passed away. His clothes are richly decorated in gold patterns. Kannon appears in many different forms. This
eleven-headed form represents the ten stages of the bodhisattva’s development, culminating in the total enlightenment
of the Buddha – portrayed here as the topmost head.
