South Cave Temple Cave 1: Standing Buddha
CHINA, Gansu, Pingliang; Northern Wei dynasty
These statues are located on the right side of the back (north) wall. The Buddha’s face is rectangular with a slight smile. A usnisa is located high upon the forehead. The right hand forms the abhaya (fearlessness) mudra, while two fingers on the left hand point downwards. The attending Bodhisattvas appear smaller and thinner than the main statue.
