Asset Overview

One of the three wooden domes (*zaojing* 藻井, lit. “water-weed wells”) originally from the Longfusi (Monastery of Grand Blessings, dated 1452, now lost) in Beijing. This dome is distinctive of its multiple layers of miniature "Heavenly Palace" buildings (*tiangong louge* 天宮樓閣). It is now exhibited in the Museum of Ancient Architecture (古代建築博物館) at the Temple of Agriculture (Xiannongtan 先農壇) in Beijing.
