Question
Received a gift of a 2 dimensional painting that looks like the face of a traditional Buddha like expression.
It did not come form a Buddhist source, but a local art dealer in Nevada.
Can I hang this on the wall as art?
Answer
Such pictures clearly have a pagan connotation, and accordingly are prohibited.
