Dunhuang Cave 323 (cave temple; Creator: unavailable; Early Tang; Dunhuang (Gansu, Zhongguo, Asia, World, Top of the TGN hiera...)

Note: Located in: Dunhuang, Gansu, China; Tang, Chinese Mid-sized, Early Tang cave with an antechamber and a corridor. The main square chamber has a truncated pyramidal ceiling. The special feature of this cave are the murals, with rich content on the south and north walls illustrating the history of Buddhism in China. These paintings form a series of narratives, with events depicted arranged in chronological order from the Han to the Sui (the 3rd century BCE to the 7th century CE). A new layer of mural was painted on parts of the walls during each of the renovations. All paintings on the north and south walls, the ceilings of the cave and niche, and part of the east wall are originals.
