Tibetan relics on display at Capital Museum
The rarely seen Bunian Tu, one of China's most celebrated surviving ancient paintings, is on display at the Capital Museum.
The 1.3-meter-long scroll painting, also known as Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy, is generally believed to be painted by Tang Dynasty (618-907) artist Yan Liben, but it is also speculated to be a facsimile of Yan's original work from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).
