Description

Niche 11 is located in Mingshan Temple (茗山寺), situated in Dingxin Town (頂新鄉), Anyue County (安岳縣), Ziyang City (資陽巿), Sichuan. The site contains twelve rock carving niches, mostly dating from the late Northern Song Dynasty 北宋 (960–1127) to the early Southern Song Dynasty 南宋 (1127–1279). The niche depicts a small seated figure of unknown identity. It wears a monk’s robe and a square hat. The statue is probably not the original statue in this niche but was placed here in later periods. Descriptions of the photos: Overview of the niche [Image 01, Image 02].
