Summary
| Description |
English: Yuan dynasty grey pottery sculpture of a Kalaviṅka (Chinese 妙音鳥 "beautiful-sounding bird"), missing its head, found at Dafangjia Hutong (大方家衚衕) in Beijing, which was part of the Huanghua Quarter (皇華坊) of the Yuan capital of Dadu. Kalaviṅka sculptures like this one are a particular feature of Tangut art, and as there were many Tangut Buddhist monks in the Yuan capital this sculpture may have been part of a Tangut Buddhist temple. On display in the exhibition room at the Pagoda of Mong Wansong in Beijing. |
