Modern crafts on the southern cliff, Wofo yuan 臥佛院 Anderl, Christoph

Description

The four statues are 20th-century productions at Wofo yuan complex 臥佛院, Anyue xian 安岳縣, Sichuan sheng 四川省. On the left there is the folk god of wealth (Caishen 財神), the two statues in the middle are two Avalokiteśvara (Ch. Guanyin pusa 觀音菩薩) and the statue on the right is Śākyamuni Buddha. This suggests ongoing worship at the site in modern times.
