COMPARISON
Ancient Chinese and Indian Iconography are very similar how they both have icons to symbolise different meanings like heaven and peace. The colours used for Ancient China were mostly red for dragons and such. However the Ancient Indian colours were browns and darker colours. Altogether these symbols are spiritual and represent the same types of meaning and used in similar ways to represent there civilisation.
