堆繡十八羅漢像

中國

作品現藏於青海省西寧市湟中縣塔爾寺(sku ¡¦bum)大經堂。堆繡為塔爾寺三絕之一。據《大阿羅漢難提蜜多羅所說法住記》所載,十六尊羅漢承佛敕命,永住世間守護正法。後世之十八羅漢圖,即於十六羅漢之外,加繪達磨多羅與漢地和尚,或降龍、伏虎二尊者。此組十八羅漢像即屬後者。
 繡品以黑色為地,上繡十八羅漢,均作長眉,唯其相貌、表情及姿態不一,可見隆額高顴、圓臉豐頰、瞠目怒視、神情安詳、袒胸露懷、雙手捧經、單手執扇等各種形象。身披袈裟,或為田相紋,或繡繁縟花紋,衣紋流暢,賦色豐富豔麗。身側或襯以花樹,或祥雲,或童子,或供養人。羅漢造型生動傳神,靜中有動,個性鮮明,整體華而不亂,為上乘佳作。
 堆繡是在大幅布幔上,用各色綢緞剪成多種圖案形狀,內塞羊毛、棉花等填充物,使繡物凸出顯明,再以彩色絲線繡製而成,整體極富立體感。
