| The Grotto Art of China - the clay statue of Bodhisattva | |
|
Northern Wei sculpture, Chinese sculpture, dating from the Northern Wei dynasty (386–534/535 CE) of the Six Dynasties, that represents the first major Buddhist influence on Chinese art. Produced in the northern territory that was occupied and ruled by foreign invaders and that was quick to respond to Buddhism, Northern Wei sculpture is distinct from the more traditional indigenous art produced in the south, which was ruled by native Chinese dynasties.
