Ruled by the Yelü clan of the seminomadic Khitan (Ch. Qidan 契丹) people, the Liao dynasty controlled present-day Mongolia, eastern Russia, northern Korea, and northern China. Wealthy Liao families adopted a range of Chinese cultural practices, including the construction of richly decorated under-ground tombs. In these funerary panels, the figures, clouds, and distant terrain recall the style of earlier Tang- dynasty paintings. The figures, however, are unmistakably Khitan. The men sport typical Liao hairstyles, with long locks in front of each ear, and several wear Liao-style boots. The hybrid features of the paintings suggest that the panels were painted for a Liao patron located near the empire’s southern border with Song-dynasty territory, in the present-day northern China provinces of Inner Mongolia and Liaoning.\n","remarks":"ASIA2_14_WLA Day 1 Cataloguing"}],"datebegin":900,"sortnumber":"2020   17","published_date":"2026-02-11 14:36:34.366634","objectid":134682,"dimensions":"67 × 89.5 × 2 cm (26 3/8 × 35 1/4 × 13/16 in.)","on_view":true}
