<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gckimm, post: 10465616, member: 83519&quot;]Not sure that the reference is to any deity in particular or just to a queen-like figure.&nbsp; The two &quot;queens&quot; that come to my mind first are Tian Hou 天后, the Goddess of the Sea, who was a young woman who once rescued family members who were out fishing; she received the title of “Queen of Heaven&quot; years after her death. The second queen that comes to mind is the Queen Mother of the West, Xiwangmu 西王母. who. as the keeper of the peaches of immortality, is associated with long life. But again, there is nothing about the panels that suggests a direct connection to either of these figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
