CHINA / Faith: 11th century painting of a Missionary bishop - Assyrian Church


A restoration of the original silk painting of a
missionary bishop of the Church of the East,
now in the British Museum, London, discovered
by Sir Aurel Stein at Tun-huang, western China,
in 1908. It had been found, along with many
manuscripts including some Christian ones,
in a cave sealed in 1036. This restoration was
painted by Robert MacGregor.
