Summary
| Description | A limestone-carved relief of the Guan Yin of Eleven Heads, from Xi'an (Chang'an), Shaanxi Province, made during the Chinese Tang Dynasty, dated c. 703 AD. Eleven heads represent stages of enlightenment in Buddhism. This sculpture style resembles the Indian-style of Buddhist relief sculpture. This particular sculpture once adorned the Seven Jewels Pagoda in the Tang capital of Chang'an, what is now modern Xi'an. |
