Dunhuang is the location of the Jade Gate in the Great Wall Of China.

It is a never ending source of amazement to me how ignorant people are about religious art, especially Christians about Christian art but I gotta tell ya. I have never heard nor seen the image described. Does anybody gotta pic?

Most of them are at the intersection of a cross, and all run counterclockwise except the Iranian.

Nope never seen anything like that. I suspect they are making more of it than it deserves. What the heck they get to go to China and somebody pays them to do it. They they get to complain about how hard they have to work while over cocktails they chat up liberal babes with what a cool job they got.

Hey maybe that is the secret, wild hares chasing fuzzy butt.

Christian art

Looks the design was put into Christian form, but it wasn't Christian until it reached Europe.
