Seated Buddha with disciples and bodhisattva with attendants, Niche 135, Beishan Rock Carvings (北山石刻) Anderl, Christoph
Description
This niche is located in Beishan Rock Carvings (北山石刻), Fowan (佛灣), Dazu (大足) District, Chongqing. The niche contains two layers of statues. The upper layer depicts a seated buddha flanked by two disciples. The buddha, wearing a double-collar drooping cassock, is seated on a lotus throne with crossed legs. His left hand touches his left knee, while the damaged right arm rests in front of his chest. He has an oval body halo and a peach-shaped head halo trimmed with flame patterns. The hands of both standing disciples form Añjali Mudras (Chinese: heshi 合十). They have a circular head halo. The bottom layer has a seated bodhisattva with two attendants. The bodhisattva sits on a Sumeru throne in a Lalitasana posture with the left leg crossed and the right leg bent. The right arm leans on the right knee while the left one props up on the throne. The head halo is circular, with the upper part bent, touching the platform of the upper layer of statues. The bodhisattva wears a headdress decorated with scroll grass motifs, ribbons on either side and a necklace of jade and pearls. A long sash connects the bodhisattva’s left shoulder with the right abdomen and is tied in a knot before the chest. The left attendant is a male dressed in layperson attire. His hands are in front of the chest, covered by a cloth. The objects on the fabric cannot be identified. The setting of the attendant on the other side, a female, is similar. A jewelled globe is placed atop the fabric covering her hands. The upper part of either side wall has a feitian 飛天 (Sanskrit: apsaras) image with their bodies bent in U-shapes. The one on the left side wall is obscured by dark ink. Metadata created by: Sau Ling Wendy Yu.
