These drawings were discovered inside the Buddha
Shakyamuni (12). The majority are drawn in a Nepalese style.
However, the single larger one was executed by a Tibetan in
a looser style. Others (not shown) depict the lineage of the
Black Hat order of Tibetan Buddhism, showing that at some
stage the Buddha was worshipped in Tibet.
