One object, one ID
Plaques, mural figures and statues receive individual identifiers. When a group count is known but individual names are not, numbered inventory slots preserve that uncertainty.

How to read the plaque catalogue
Published surveys record 52 historical plaques: 48 extant and four lost. The online evidence currently supports 47 unique extant titles, so one inventory slot remains explicitly unidentified rather than inventing a name.

Murals divided by panel, figure and zone
Six seated-Buddha panels, twelve apsaras, six donors, doorway paintings and the rear-screen zones each have an ID. Individual figures without a corresponding public high-resolution image remain marked as awaiting evidence.
