Kizil New Cave 1: Apsara

CHINA, Xinjiang, Aksu; circa 6th–7th century
This image is located on the barrel-vaulted ceiling in the rear corridor. The apsara wears a crown decorated with a pearl, a jeweled necklace, and a dhoti layered in delicate folds. The figure in the brightly colored mural is painted in orange washes and outlined with thin, firm lines.
