The reverse of this mandorla bears an inscription with a cyclical date corresponding to 561, and is therefore an early example of Northern Zhou (557-581) Buddhist art. The fall of the Northern Wei dynasty and subsequent political and military unrest had a profound effect on Buddhism and its art forms. The provinces of Gansu, parts of Shanxi, Sichuan and Hunan, which in 533 had been annexed by the Western Wei, fell to the Northern Zhou, while the Northern Qi dynasty took control of the provinces in eastern China.Buddhist art of this period still exhibits many characteristics of the Northern Wei dynasty.
Dated Buddhist images from this period are rare. See ahuanghuashi limestone stele with a stylistically similar mandorla, also dated the 1st year of the Baoding period (561), offered at Sotheby's New York,20th March 2019, lot 560.
