Summary
[edit]DescriptionSakyamuni and Mahākāśyapa, Shuining Temple Niche 2.png |
English: Śākyamuni Buddha and Mahākāśyapa, Shuining Temple Niche 2. Bazhong, Sichuan; 7th–8th century. "Niche number 2 is of squarish shape (height 2.17 meters, width 1.81 meters, depth 1.46 meters). The Buddha, probably Śākyamuni, sits at the center of the rear wall, flanked on either side by a symmetrical arrangement of images. Thus on the (viewer's) left are placed Ānanda, a Bodhisattva, a female donor keeping her hands modestly in her sleeves, and a Heavenly King resting on a sword. Outside the niche, the group is joined by a Vajrapāṇi. On the opposite side, there is Kāśyapa as pendent of Ānanda; also the female donor holds a container, and the guardian holds a spear. On the ceiling, two apsarases are carved in low relief in the act of converging towards Buddha. In the right reveal, the contraposition of types, the Vajrapāṇi and the Heavenly King, is very vivid." – Howard, Angela Falco (1988).
