4. Religious iconography

The Asian continent is the cradle of all universal religions and also preserves countless other indigenous religious forms. Some forbid the representation of the Absolute, and others believe it has no form and can therefore be represented in any form. Religions are thus the source of most of humanity’s art and its main architectural monuments.
