Kizil Cave 123: Standing Buddha
Kizil Cave 123: Standing Buddha
CHINA, Xinjiang, Aksu
This mural is located on the left wall of the main chamber. Although the Buddha’s face is damaged, his body is clad in a monastic robe which covers both shoulders. The left hand holds a corner of the robe while the right arm stretches out to the side. There are numerous other standing Buddhas within the mandorla, all of which face toward the principle standing Buddha.
Cloud and honeysuckle patterns surround the image. While much of the lower part of the mural has been destroyed, particularly on the right side, traces can still be seen on the left. Figures depicted in the top corners appear to be offering Bodhisattvas, all with damaged faces.
