Fine fragmentary Yao Painting YA192
Fragmentary ceremonial painting of exceptional quality and age, likely commissioned for a high priest.
It may depict the lower section of To Ta, the eldest of the Three Pure Ones. But without the complete composition, precise identification remains uncertain. The framed painting YA191, also fragmentary, likely belongs to the same high-quality set.
From one of the Yao groups of Northern Laos or Southern China.

Circa mid-18th century.
Frame: 50 cm high × 48 cm wide.
