居庸關雲台四天王像

中國

位於北京市昌平區居庸關雲台券洞內兩壁。居庸關雲台為元代(1271~1368)過街塔的基座,是現知最早、最大的一座過街塔基實物,建於元至正二至五年(1342~1345),券洞內精美浮雕和古文字石刻,為重要佛教文物遺存。
 四天王頭部為高浮雕,其餘部分是淺浮雕。皆坐於石座上,頭戴化佛冠,方臉闊面,或眉宇緊鎖,或眉弓隆起,雙目圓睜,神態威武,面部表情傳神。身披甲胄,帔帛飛揚,有吳帶當風之勢,與背襯雲氣均增加形象的動勢,更顯天王豪邁凜然的氣勢。一腿舒開,一腿盤屈,除持國天王右腳踩一位漢服裝束的婦女,其餘天王腳下皆蹬邪鬼。天王兩側有漢人及邊塞民族等形象之文武侍從。南方增長天王雙手拔劍,東方持國天王手彈琵琶,北方多聞天王右手執傘,西方廣目天王手握一蛇。四天王手中的執物,各代表著「風」、「調」、「雨」、「順」,是目前所知最早出現持此四執物的四天王像。
 此四尊浮雕融合漢藏佛教造型藝術,雕刻技巧十分高超,背飾的線條曲線細膩精美,為元代梵像天王中罕見的佳作。
