石灰石／奉先寺遺跡出土 唐時代／高21.8 cm／龍門石窟研究所蔵
胸から下を失っているが、高めの肉髻の正面に１つと地髪部正面に２つの渦巻形のウエーブのある髪筋を細かく彫り、張りのある頬をもつ顔には、やや吊り上がり気味の眉と目尻の切れ上がった伏目ぎみの目、形の良い鼻、しっかり結んだ口が配され、気品と威厳が感じられる。三道を刻む首の周囲には、通肩に着た大衣が右肩から左肩へとわたるように刻まれている。則天武后期の終わり頃、８世紀初頭の制作であろう。

This figure's body is missing from the chest down. The wavy hair is arranged with one swirl of hair formed on the front of the usnisa, and two swirls of hair on the front of the head. The hair lines are carved in detail. The face has swelling cheeks and downcast eyes and eyebrows are slightly raised at the outer edges. The well-formed nose is combined with a firmly shut mouth, all giving a sense of refinement and dignity. The neck is carved with the three ring Buddha attribute and is surrounded by the planar carved incised depiction of a large robe which drapes from the right shoulder to the left shoulder. This image was probably created around the end of the Dowager Empress Wu period at the beginning of the 8th century.
