The murals from the Christian temple at Qocho (German: Wandbilder aus einem christlichen Tempel, Chotscho) are three Church of the East mural fragments—Palm Sunday, Repentance and Entry into Jerusalem—discovered by the German Turpan expedition team, which was led by two German archaeologists Albert Grünwedel and Albert von Le Coq, in the early 20th century.
These murals were painted in the 7th to 9th centuries,[1] belonging to a ruined Church of the East church at Qocho in Chinese Turkestan, an ancient oasis city located in present-day Xinjiang, the westernmost region of modern China, once a capital of the Uyghur Kingdom of Qocho. The original Entry into Jerusalem is lost, there is only a copy of line drawing made by Grünwedel.[2] The murals are preserved in the Museum of Asian Art in Dahlem, Berlin.
