Maijishan Grotto 121: Standing Bodhisattvas
CHINA, Gansu, Tianshui; Northern Wei dynasty
The Bodhisattva statues, located in the corner of the back and right walls, lean close to each other and smile as if communicating with each other. The Bodhisattva on the back wall has spiraled hair tied in a high topknot that is shaped like a stupa. The left hand of the Bodhisattva on the right is damaged; the right hand holds an object at the side.
