Room 47e: Chinese Sculpture
Buddhism travelled from India into China during the 1st century AD, becoming part of Chinese life and culture alongside the other established belief systems. Statues and Buddhist-related figures like these were commissioned by followers and used during worship. The V&A's exquisite collection of Chinese Buddhist sculpture can be viewed in this gallery.
Room 47e is on Level 1 of the V&A South Kensington.
