1914年，在巴黎举办的一场艺术展上，六件来自南响堂的圆雕石刻同时惊艳亮相，瞬间在收藏界激起千层浪。时任宾大博物馆馆长的戈登先生，也被这几件精美石刻深深吸引。很快，他便与卢芹斋达成交易，以不低于六万美元的价格，购下其中三件。彼时，第一次世界大战激战正酣，德国潜艇在海上频繁袭击协约国商船，运输途中险象环生。但卢芹斋深知这批文物的价值，毅然决定冒险一试。1915年六月，他致信戈登，告知三件石刻将分别安置于三艘不同班轮上，驶向费城。幸运的是，三艘货轮最终都安然抵达美国，这些珍贵的国宝侥幸躲过了战火的劫难。

这三件石刻皆源自南响堂的第二窟，分别为观音菩萨、大势至菩萨和辟支佛立像。两身菩萨像均头戴三叶宝冠，其中观音宝冠正中为化佛。菩萨宝缯自棺两侧轻柔垂下，直至肘部，发辫呈独特纹样披于肩头。颈上所配项饰，华丽繁复，尽显精致。上身裸露，下身身着长裙，中间裙带悠悠垂至两足中间。另一尊佛像，头顶漫圆髻，跣足而立，双手于胸前捧莲蕾，内着袒右僧袛支，外披垂领式袈裟。两肩衣纹为浅阶梯式，身上衣纹为双凸棱式。造像曲线优美、体态飘逸、配饰细密繁复，有典型的北齐晚期造像风格特点。

Statue of a standing bodhisattva made of dark stone, brown and stained with age, with traces of red, green and blue pigment. The bodhisattva has a long face, plump cheeks, eyes nearly closed, with very long lobed ears, unpierced. There is a jeweled tiara with small a aureole in front on which is carved a tiny standing figure of Amida Buddha. There are streamers from the headdress with elaborately draped scarfs and jewels hanging down over the skirt. The statue is bare foot with no pedestal but does have a tang that comes out the bottom of the piece. C113, C150 and C151 are a set and come from Cave #2 of the Southern Xiangtangshan cave complex.
