On the upper floor is painted a seated female god with a white crown and white robe sitting on each side; the golden ring-shaped crown of the god is decorated with the symbol of light, and a circle of small heads wearing the same symbol of light is suspended above the head.

[2]: 271  This layman also stood on the felt carpet, wearing a crimson robe with black floral ornaments.

According to the description on the flag banner, this image is a statue of Jesus (Manichean translation "Yi Shu").

The statues of the Virgin of Light and Jesus on the upper level have the characteristics of the portraits of the Sasanian kings or gods of Persia, showing "Uighur style in Manichean art"; [3]: 156  They are "guide gods", helping the souls of devout believers to return to the kingdom of light.

From Coptic, Sabbath, and Middle Persian Manichae literature, the Virgin of Light and Jesus are the two most important gods who lead the way.

[1]: 352 As mentioned above, the text on the flags indicates that the identity of the male god in the back picture is Jesus, which is translated as "Yi Shu" in Chinese by Manichaeism.

In addition to the Elcesaites, there were also other early Christian groups active there, such as the Badisan and the Magian, and Mani had contact with them.

[citation needed] Although Mani mentions Zoroaster and Sakyamuni in his own writings, Jesus is the key point.

[3]: 162  Augustine of Hippo once wrote about Manichaean obsession with Jesus, and there are many hymns in Manichae scriptures in various languages.

After comparing several portraits of early Christian Jesus in the Mediterranean region, Hungarian Asian religious art historian Zsuzsanna Gulácsi found that two of them are particularly consistent with this image.
