Hoa Nghiem Cave, Grotto of the August Transformation

Émile Gsell

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a cave with a Buddha shrine. A path leads to the shrine. The cave has a large opening with jagged rocks on either side. The opening frames a smaller alcove with a shrine containing a large Buddha figure. The rocks on the right side frame the path. A tree root protrudes down from the top right. The path appears to be made of dirt or gravel. A low wall or curb made of rocks borders the path on the left. Leaves and plants are on top of the rocks. The background is dark. The photo is sepia-toned.
