  1. Help with identification

    Only after you mentioned they are poets I realized they are the onlu ones not displayed standing on top of clouds. So do you mean what is displayed on the picture is a visualisation of one of the events described in the Hua Hu Ching? Will have a look if I can find an English translation of the Hua Hu Ching, hopefully will make for some interesting reading . Once again thanks!
  2. Help with identification

    ChiDragon once again a big thanks and a happy new year to all reading this . Do you know what the English name of this group would be?: 五方谒谛: 1. 金光揭谛、 2. 银头揭谛、 3. 波罗揭谛、 4. 波罗僧揭谛、 5. 摩诃揭谛 Do you agree with the names I stated in the first post for the others? "I believe they are the two famous poets from the Tang dynasty, 李白(Li Po) and 杜甫(Du Fu)." Do you have an idea on why these poets would be in the centre of a display among deities/immortals?
