獨樹一格，精采豐富。此佛首，近80公分高，雄闊震撼，

Unique tree, exquisite and rich. The Buddha's head, nearly 80 centimeters high, is magnificent and shocking.

威武懾人，佛面內(nèi)層髹繪，以佛教經(jīng)文層迭貼之，特殊罕見。

It is very rare that the Buddhist scriptures are overlapped to deter people and to paint the inner layer of Buddha's face.

以巨大體量呈現(xiàn)恢弘氣勢并非宗教藝術獨有特質(zhì)，

遼代帝王尚佛，舉國皆信仰佛教，護崇佛教造像，

The emperors of Liao Dynasty advocated Buddhism, and all the countries believed in Buddhism and protected Buddhist statues.

如山西云岡石窟、龍門石窟、大同（西京）華嚴寺，

For example, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes and Huayan Temple in Datong (Xijing), Shanxi Province.

及山西應縣佛宮寺釋迦塔，建于契丹清寧二年（公元1056年），

Shakya Pagoda of Fogong Temple, Yingxian County, Shanxi Province, was built in Qingning, Qidan, in the second year (A.D. 1056).

Remarkable. Fengguo Temple, Yixian County, Liaoning Province, was built in Kaitai, Qidan, nine years ago (1020 AD).

并參考天津獨樂寺，十六公尺高巨型觀世音菩薩，

Referring to the Dule Temple in Tianjin, the 16-meter-high giant Guan Shiyin Bodhisattva,

造于契丹統(tǒng)合二年（公元984年），山西原平惠濟寺藏一尊元代菩薩像，與此像近類，

Founded in the second year of the unification of Qidan (984 AD), Huiji Temple in Yuanping, Shanxi Province, contains a Bodhisattva statue of the Yuan Dynasty, similar to this statue.
