Guangyuan Thousand Buddha Cliff Rock Carvings Cave 366: Musicians
CHINA, Sichuan, Guangyuan; Tang dynasty
There are a total of five musicians in this group, with three standing in the top row and two on the bottom. The musicians in the top row play a reed instrument, panpipe, and flute, while the two in the bottom row play the waist drum and square drum. All five musicians wear headdresses. The musician playing the waist drum is clad in a long gown with narrow sleeves, while the other four musicians wear round-collared robes. This attire is typical of males during the Tang dynasty (618–907). Perspective is carefully used to give the figures a dynamic appearance.
