A guide to the first-storey murals, seated Buddhas, flying apsaras, donors, doorway guardians and rear-screen paintings.
The principal murals occupy the first-storey inner walls, doorways and screens behind statuary. The catalogue divides seated Buddhas, apsaras, donors and guardians by panel, figure and zone.
Identification and inscriptions require high-resolution, position-specific evidence. A general view is never reused as proof for several individual figures.
One of three female donor figures on the south-door lintel, important evidence for the representation of Liao court women.
