Several cave complexes, commonly referred to as Buddhist grottoes, were constructed during the Northern Wei dynasty. The Longmen, Gongxian, and Yungang cave grottoes in the Henan and Shanxi provinces are the largest and most famous grottoes from this period. They consist of thousands of sculptures including stupas, stele, and figural sculptures, some with extensive inscriptions. The largest complex, the Longmen grottoes, consists of 110,000 Buddhist stone statues, more than 60 stupas, and 2,800 inscriptions carved on steles. The present lot is an example of a grotto sculpture from this period and is comparable to a sandstone head of the Buddha from the Yungang grottoes (see below).
