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.
