Himalayan Art Resources, item no. 24637.
The palace scene in the current painting represents the heaven in which Maitreya resides. When the principles of Shakyamuni Buddha’s teachings have been forgotten on earth, Maitreya descends from the Tushita Heaven and is reincarnated on earth to become the Future Buddha. The verso is inscribed om ah hum, a mantra imbuing the body, speech and mind of the Buddha.
