Work Description

The ceiling from the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, at first sold to a coffin-maker, was acquired by Laurence Sickman in 1930 for the newly founded Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. The ceiling is carved cypress wood with gold leaf, showing dragon design carved in relief.

万佛殿的天花板最初卖给了棺材制造商。1930 年被劳伦斯·西克曼收购，用于在堪萨斯城新成立的纳尔逊·阿特金斯艺术博物馆。 天花板为有着金箔装饰的柏木构成，上刻有龙纹浮雕。
