麦积山石窟第23窟供养人图像年代蠡测

A Study on the Dating of the Donor Figures in Cave 23 at the Maijishan Grottoes

麦积山石窟第23窟彩绘女供养人,并非此前认定的北魏原作或隋代重绘,而是北周重绘,在服饰特点和人物组合配置方面充分体现出当时胡汉融合的特殊社会历史风格,真实再现了秦州地区北朝贵族女性礼佛场景。

The female donor figures in cave 23 at the Maijishan Grottoes are neither original works of the Northern Wei dynasty nor statues repainted during the Sui dynasty, as has previously been considered, they are rather works repainted in the Northern Zhou dynasty. The characteristics of the costumes and the combination of the figures fully reflect the special social and historical style of a time when Han Chinese and non-Han peoples mixed together and vividly exhibit scenes of Northern Dynasties noble ladies paying tribute to the Buddha in Qinzhou region.
