Jade Dizang, Zhiyuan Temple, Jiuhuashan, Anhui, China


This "Jade" image of Dizang (Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva) sits in a rear hall at Zhiyuan Temple on Jiuhuashan, Anhui. The "jade" here may be different colored pieces of marble, but the variety and intensity of colors leads me to believe that many such reliefs incorporate pieces of plastic as well. Who would know? But they're gorgeous nonetheless.
