Qigxin: Fragment of a Bodhisattva
CHINA, Xinjiang, Bayingolin
The figure’s upward look gives it an other-worldly appearance noted on different figures from the site. The face is rounded and a double chin is slightly visible. A hairband sits at the base of a topknot above the pre-molded fringe. The upper body is decorated with an ornament that crosses at a medallion with the same beaded floral design as the one on the armlet, and the skirt is worn very low on the hips.
