References to the theme of "family" are illustrated by two silk paintings on display: Firstly, the depiction of the breastfeeding goddess Hariti, who is worshipped as the protector of children. The second is an exceptionally rare and newly restored silk painting depicting female Manichaean clerics (Electae) who left their families to devote themselves entirely to religion.
Curator The temporary presentation is curated by Lilla Russell-Smith, Curator of Central Asian Art, Museum für Asiatische Kunst der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin.
