L: Carved red sandalwood hanging screen with Buddhist shrine and tsha-tsha; R: Court figures appeared in the enamel embedded hanging screen. Collection from the Palace Museum [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] |
The screen on the left is not a common hanging screen, but kamidana used to consecrate Buddhist gods. The gods consecrated here are Tsha-Tsha in Tibetan Buddhism which were made of clay. What makes this screen special is that its lord Buddha is not Amitabha, but Emperor Qianlong himself.
