...stone Buddha statues. Based on the shape of the stone carved, they are broadly divided into three types: stone Buddhas carved into free-standing movable stones, cliff-carved Buddhas carved into exposed rock layers, and cave Buddhas carved into caves dug into rock layers. Based on the state of carving, they are divided into line carvings, thin-walled carvings (reliefs), half-walled carvings, high-walled carvings (with most of the sides carved out), and round carvings. Stone is one of the most common carving materials, and was actively produced in various places since India as Buddhism spread. *Some of the terminology used in reference to the Imamiya Shrine Four-Sided Stone Buddhas are listed below.
