This is how it looks like from the cliff wall. Partially damaged, however the face still looks intact thought not much detail. The original could have been painted. Those inside the man-made cave do have some paint work evidence. Outside, all the carving were bare with the rock surface. Could have been clean up during restoration. Date not confirm, could be about 500AD. Shikushi or The Grotto Temple, Gonyi Town, Henan, China.
