500 Arhat Plaques, Zhusheng Temple, Nanyue, Hunan, China

Instead of being portrayed as statuary, the 500 arhats at Zhusheng Temple, Nanyue, Hunan, are displayed on 250 plaques, two to a plaque. Not unique, but unusual. (The first images of the 16 arhats, "Luohans in a dream," were also created in 2D by the Chengdu-based monk Guanxiu in 891 CE.)
