The 194 cave-shrines of this "Gallery of Oriental
Sculpture" on a perpendicular mountain cliff southeast
of Tianshui, provide shelters to 7,200 stone and clay
figurines and 1,300 square metres of murais. The clay
figures, fastidiously crafted to the minute detail,
and blending lifelike imagery with spiritual resonance,
are paragons of ancient Chinese clay sculpture.
