持世菩薩像

尼泊爾

持世菩薩原屬印度教財富女神,後被佛教沿用,是持寶、財富的賜予者,代表豐盈和繁榮。此一面六臂的造像形式在尼泊爾非常普遍。
 菩薩頭戴鑲嵌珠寶的華麗寶冠,佩戴大耳璫。袒上身,飾項圈、臂釧和手鐲。下著長裙,腰帶中間的褶襯部位飾寶石,裙襬懸垂於座前,略顯生硬。呈右舒坐姿,左腳彎曲,右腳踏於蓮上。
 右前臂往下伸展代表給予,手掌心捧一珠寶,第二隻右手則持葉鞘狀之珠寶。左前臂手執寶瓶,第二隻左手握一稻穗,表示穀稼豐收。最上方的兩隻手代表智慧,右邊的手上揚,手掌張開表示對佛陀的敬意,而左手則持經篋。
 此雕像優雅豐潤的姿態,寶冠鑲嵌寶石以及髮際精緻的刻劃方式,充分展現出尼泊爾十二世紀下半葉至十三世紀上半葉的佛教造像藝術風格,為該時期難得一見佳作。
