CAVE 13 (470-493 A.D.)

The main image is a cross-legged maitreya, wearing a jeweled crown, a bracelet and a snake-shaped necklace. His right arm is supported from underneath by vajra. Above the entrance of the south wall are the sculptured figures of seven standing buddhas, wearing loose gowns with wide ribbons. On each reveal of the window is a bodhisattva with a plump and strong body in exquisite craftsmanship.
