Losana Buddha Statue Cave
The most physically imposing and magnificent of all the Longmen Caves, this vast
cave ( Fengxian Si) was carved during the Tang dynasty between AD 672 and 675;
it contains the best examples of sculpture, despite evident weathering and vandal-
ism.
In contrast to the other-worldly effigies of the Northern Wei, many Tang figures
possess a more fearsome ferocity and muscularity, most noticeable in the huge
guardian figure in the north wall.
