Fragment of a Bodhisattva
CHINA
This Bodhisattva is believed to have originated from the Yarhu Caves in Xinjiang. The figure has long thick hair that is swept to the back. The rounded face shows features from Central Asia, such as almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, full lips, and large ears. Two dimples are visible on either side of the mouth. The neck is short and thick, and is decorated with a heavy collar necklace. There is evidence that the figure once wore a crown, which is now missing, and that the statue has been burnt at some time.
