CAVE 20 (460-465 A.D.)

The statue are no longer roofed over due to the collapse of its front wall before the Liao Dynasty. The main images are the trikala buddhas. On the north wall is a statue of seated sakyamuni, 13.7 metres high. This Buddha, with his plump face and broad shoulders, is a typical example of the sculpture art of the Yungang caves. A standing Buddha on the east side looks dignified in a kasaya. The other one on the west side was damaged long time ago.
