Titel: China: Cosmological mandala with Mount Meru, silk tapestry, Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368),14th Century, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Untertitel: Siehe automatische Übersetzung
The elaborate tapestry-woven mandala illustrates Indo-Himalayan imagery introduced to China along with the advent of Buddhism. At the centre is the mythological Mount Meru, represented by an inverted pyramid topped by a lotus, a Buddhist symbol of purity. Traditional Chinese images for the sun (a three-legged bird) and moon (a rabbit) appear at the mountains base.
. The landscape vignettes at the cardinal directions represent the four continents of Indian mythology but follow the artistic conventions of Chinese-style landscapes. The floral border, with the four vases in the four corners, parallels the imagery of central Tibet, particularly monasteries with ties to the Yuan court in Beijing.
