Return of the Buddha

Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution "Return of the Buddha: The Qingzhou Discoveries" exhibition presented 35 well-preserved sixth-century Buddhist sculptures discovered by accident during work on a school sports field in Qingzhou, China. The exhibit also explored stylistic differences between the sculptures.
