The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara in Cave 57. Among the numerous Bodhisattva images of the Tang Dynasty, this Avalokitesvara portrait is one of the best masterpieces. The Bodhisattva has a graceful posture, smooth and delicate skin, long eyes and thin eyebrows, red lips and a straight nose. She is gentle, elegant, charming and alluring. The headdress and ornaments with gilded powder and the skin tinted with light vermilion make her unique, luxurious and magnificent.
