Three Celestial Attendants ca. 6th-7th century China (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) The two female figures at left wear beaded textile headdresses typical of the female attendants represented in Kizil paintings, while the male figure at right wears an elaborate turban with diadems. The white highlights used to accentuate the nose and eyebrows of the male figure reflect a technique also employed in the wall paintings of Afghanistan. The presence of halos suggests that these figures were part of a host of celestial beings surrounding a Buddha in a heavenly realm.. Three Celestial Attendants 49571
