Niche 157, 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 is severely eroded. Traces of a central figure flanked by two seated images are observed. Unfortunately, the central figure is lost. Only two lines of light illuminated from the central figure and a circular halo remain. The head and upper body of the two seated images are also lost, so their identities are also unknown. Metadata created by: Sau Ling Wendy Yu.
