石灰石/奉先寺遺跡出土 唐時代/高48.4 cm/龍門石窟研究所蔵
左手を屈臂して挙げ、右手を下げて、腰部を左に捻り三屈の姿勢で立っていたと思われるが、頭部と両手の臂下から先、および両膝下を失っている。垂髪が両肩に懸かり、上半身に条[じよう]帛[はく]を着け、胸飾り、両肩から腹前で交差する連珠状の瓔[よう]珞[らく]を着ける。天衣は両肩から垂下し、膝上を二条にわたって両手の臂下に懸かっていたと思われるが、先端は欠失している。作風から7世紀末頃の制作と思われる。

The left arm is bent at the elbow with forearm raised, while the right hand is lowered. The hips are shifted to the left, seemingly as the final element of the "three-bend" pose. These positions are all surmised from the remaining torso, as the figure's head, both forearms, and both legs from the knees down are missing. Locks of hair drape over both shoulders, and the upper body is draped with a scarf that loops up on one side. The chest decoration is made up of garlands of linked round beads which hang from both shoulders and cross in front of the waist. Scarves hang from both shoulders, drape across the hips in two bands, and are thought to have hung from both forearms, although now the ends of these scarves are missing. The style of this figure suggests a date from the end of the 7th century.
