Originally discovered in the Mogao Caves, this Bodhisattva stands with hands in anjali (reverence) mudra on a lotus pedestal. The head inclines slightly to one side. Behind the figure is an oval nimbus with lines radiating outwards from the center. The figure wears floral earrings and a long beaded necklace that falls over the elaborately carved lower garment.
