Original – A cloth portrait of the Buddhist monk Atiśa, produced at a Kadam monastery in Tibet in c. 1100. Atiśa helped the spread of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism
Reason
Very high quality photograph of this near-contemporary portrait. Please note that the MET replaced this version with a subpar image sometime between 2012 and 2014; the Wayback Machine did not record the page before then, so I can't be sure when that was.
