山西陵川宝应寺石窟调查简报

Brief Investigation Report on the Grottoes of Baoying Temple in Lingchuan County,Shanxi

2023年3-6月,山西省考古研究院等单位联合对山西省晋城市陵川县宝应寺石窟进行了调查。宝应寺石窟现存5窟及4处摩崖造像,其中第3窟与第4窟之间有石构回廊建筑。石窟无明确纪年。从窟龛形制、造像组合、造像特征综合判断,以北朝晚期遗存为主,后代多有补刻改妆。

Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology conducted an investigation on the grottoes of Baoying Temple in Lingchuan County,Jincheng City,Shanxi Province from March to June,2023.There are 5 grottoes and 4 cliff statues discovered here,among which there are stone corridors between the Grottoes 3 and 4.Though there is no clear date found in these grottoes,its date probably is the Late Northern Dynasties from the shape of the niches,the statues combinations and their characteristics of these caves.Meanwhile,there are many supplemented carvings and redecoration in later dynasties.
