Aquarius
Starlight Pourer
Beneath the Western Wei vault, the Water Bearer pours celestial nectar from an ornate treasure vase. Stars from ancient Persia mingle with Chinese lotus flames in indigo and vermilion. His gaze is distant yet compassionate, promising wisdom to the desert travellers. Flying musicians play the pipa backwards in the air; their ribbons weave through the constellations, turning the cave ceiling into a river of light.
