Sarcophagus of Prince Yuan Mi, 524 CE

Photogrammetry scan of the black limestone sarcophagus of Prince Yuan Mi, who died in 523 CE. From its description on artsmia.org : "Buddhist, Confucian, and Daoist imagery intermingle within a landscape setting that anticipates the later genre of landscape painting in Chinese art. Along each side of the sarcophagus, amid trees and mountains, five scenes illustrate the Confucian virtue of filial piety, or respect for one’s parents, elders, and ancestors."
