CHINA, Xinjiang, Aksu
These decorative patterns are situated on the edges of the corbels on the ceiling. The continuous patterns consist of honeysuckle motifs in wave-like curves and various smaller floral motifs with twining foliage. The patterns are colored in ocher red, pink, green, black, and white, and are bright, warm, and lively, emblazoned below the ceiling’s edges. This style of decorative pattern, laid out in wide bands, is rarely seen among the Kuchean Caves.
