Background made up of a woodcut depicting the hands of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, each with an eye in the palm to see the particular condition of all beings. The woodcut has been cut and fit to form the traditional thigse diagram on which a Himalayan iconographer would lay out a standing buddha figure. In this case the figure is walking and was modeled on a Greek kouros. His head is higher than the door. He has seen the Way and walks to share the news.
