The striped pattern on the dhoti and the color palette of the polychromy reveal connections with the great early Indo-Tibetan Buddhist wall murals of the western Himalayan cave temples at Tabo (10th-11th centuries) and Alchi (11th-13th centuries). These masterpieces of Buddhist art included not only paintings but also colossal stucco figures of deities enhanced by richly colored polychromy. For further discussion, see D. Klimburg-Salter, Tabo, 1997, and P. Pal, A Buddhist Paradise: The Murals of Alchi, Western Himalayas, 1982.
