It is kind of surprise i found some info why zen and buddhist monastery tends to put Kimnara
here you are

"Prince Kimnara, surnamed Xu, became a Buddhist monk of Shaolin in the Yuan Dynasty. After hard learning and devoted practice, he finally succeeded in becoming a Guardian Bodhissattva of Shaolin Temple. There used to be three statues of Prince Kimnara in the hall, one made of rattan, one cast in bronze and one in iron, and on both sides there used to be two stones tablets with Kinmara's image engraved on them during the Northern Period. The original hall was destroyed by war in 1928. It was rebuild and repainted in 1982 after the original model. Three new statues of Prince Kimnara were recast."
I suggested the Yuan Dynasty is incorrect .. Becos yuan dynasty is immediately after Song Dynasty
I believe it is in either Eastern Jin Dynasty
Northern Period is after the fall of Eastern Jin Dynasty -
