Apsaras are often depicted as flying figures in the mural paintings and sculptures of Buddhist cave sites in China such as in the Mogao and Yulin Caves, and the Yungang and Longmen Grottoes, and may also be depicted as dancers or musicians. They are referred to as feitian in Chinese. A female spirit of the clouds in Buddhist mythology, apsaras were beautiful heavenly attendants to deities. The billowing clouds and flowing scarf of this figure attest to her celestial nature and endow this carving with a femininity and gracefulness befitting her role.
