Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
Washington, DC, United States

A buddhist sculpture dating from Tang Dynasty (7th century AD) China. The Tang Dynasty is considered by many to be the high point of Chinese civilization. Many art forms, including sculpture, reached new heights during the long peace and prosperity of the Tang period, enriched in part by interaction with foreign cultural and aesthetic influences.
