The 18 Arhats are thangkas painted by Noedup Rongae, a Tibetan from a long line of traditional Tibetan painters. I've known him for about 30 years and have purchased an number of paintings over time including these. http://www.khandro.net/deities_arhats.htm has some background on the Arhats. The pop-ups are a mosaic of 9x9 64 pixel squares and are from a 100% crop as you observed. It takes something like 8 hours of CPU time (2 clock hours using 4 processors) to slice up the original image into 21,000+ squares, 81 of which are pulled in upon a mouse click.
