CAVE 16 (460-465 A.D.)

Cave 16 to 20 are the five earlist caves at Yungang Grotto site, which constructed under the supervision of the head Monk Tanyao during the reign of Heping of Emperor Wencheng (460-465 A.D.). They are now generally known as the “Five caves of Tanyao”. The main statue, 13.5 metres high, is a standing Sakyamuni with curly hair, wearing a loose gown with wide ribbon tide up in front of his chest. His evenly-pleated gown is in the style of Taihe's reign after the reform.
