north binyang cave

North Binyang Cave (ch. 宾阳北洞) is cave number 104 at the Longmen Grottoes near Luoyang, Henan, China.

History

Initiated by order of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei in honour of his parents Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Wenzhao, the cave was not completed until the Tang.

Features

The main image is an Amitabha with a patterned halo. Dragon-head shaped column bases dating from the Northern Wei flank the cave entrance. Other figures are also present (possibly bodhisattvas).

Nearby caves

Middle Binyang Cave and South Binyang Cave are adjacent to the south.
