Yulin Cave 3: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Attendants - Arhat
CHINA, Gansu, Guazhou; Western Xia period
This image is found on the lower part of the illustration of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Attendants. The Arhat has deep-set eyes, a high-bridged nose, curly hair, and a full beard. A large nimbus surrounds the head, while the palms are joined. Body hair is visible on the hands, legs, and feet. The Arhat appears to carry a large bundle of sutra scrolls, suggesting that he is a traveling monk. The figure’s characteristics are those of a Central Asian, and the clothing is typical Chinese travel attire of the period: a tippet, open-collared robe, and sandals.
