100 themes restored from Mogao Caves murals, spanning the 4th to the 14th century. Each image is labelled with its cave number and dynasty. A further set of photographic references of the original wall paintings is included for comparison.

The original wall paintings are fragile, darkened by oxidation and in places no longer legible, so these are interpretive reconstructions rather than records. Historical photographic references are shown separately and remain subject to their source licences.
