The artistic remains of 11th century U-Tsang paintings are limited in number but exhibit a di-verse and complex appearance.According to the facial features of figures in murals and thangkas,the predomi-nant style was that of Eastern Indian Pala art,which had entered U-Tsang at the time.Previous research has also suggested that the facial features of figures in the late 11th century Drathang Monastery murals followed this style.However,new research reveals that the facial features of figures in the Drathang Monastery murals differ distinctly from those depicted in other contemporary U-Tsang paintings,showing clear uniqueness.This article systematically organizes different versions of the"Pala Style Faces"found in 11th century U-Tsang painting re-mains and traces the development of various series of Tibetan painting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from the 8th to the 12th centuries.It focuses particularly on the artistic origins of the"long-eyed type"and"Pala Style Faces"in the Drathang Monastery murals.
