Kizil Cave 118: Monk
CHINA, Xinjiang, Aksu
This mural occupies two of the diamond motifs on the barrel-vaulted ceiling of the main chamber. It depicts a monk who stands barefoot amidst a mountain scene with trees and birds. The monk is dressed in a red monastic robe that leaves the right shoulder bare. He holds a corner of his robe in his left hand and a staff in his right hand. His body leans slightly to the right.
