The Story Behind the Scarf
Cave 257, Mogao Caves, Northern Wei Dynasty (386–534 AD)
Painted with natural mineral pigments on plastered cave walls
A deer rescues a drowning man who later betrays it for a reward. The king, moved by the deer's honesty, grants it protection.
Compassion, karmic justice, and the power of truth
