Oo now I want to send you all my favorites. I will have to dig up the one where there are a bunch of bodhisattvas in a row and one of them has turned around to talk to the guy next to him, and the artist clearly figured the halo was like a plate stuck to the back of his head so it's seen side-on 😁
omg i would love to see your favorites!!!
Here. Sadly I have lost the note as to which cave it's from, but it's certainly late Northern Wei or Northern Zhou, so kind of mid-sixth century.
