content: From card: "Large oil painting on canvas on heavy wood stretcher, in a black and gold frame 6.5 cm. W. It depicts the Buddhist concept of the "Wheel of Life," in elaborate religious symbolism. There are three wide concentric circles and surrounding clouds. All full of many human and animal figures in a profusion of different actions. Though this was acquired in China from Chang Ta Li, a local Prince, it is possible that it was executed in Tibet because he had other captured objects from Tibet and it resembles work from there. Refer: Roosevelt: "Trailing the Giant Panda", pp. 94, 99-101."
