Kumtura Cave 13: Standing Bodhisattva
CHINA, Xinjiang, Aksu
This mural was originally located to the north of the doorway and depicts a Bodhisattva. The figure has long hair tied in a top knot and a triple-disc crown on the head. The face resembles Chinese ethnicity and is rounded with long, slender eyes and eyebrows. The Bodhisattva is adorned with earrings, a necklace, and bracelets, and is draped in stoles of various colors and wears a red dhoti with a green sash tied at the waist. The full mural depicted numerous other Bodhisattvas, two of which are partially visible.
