Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Chlorite

觀音菩薩像

尼泊爾

此尼泊爾觀音菩薩立像健壯優雅,反映出印度笈多王朝(約320~550)藝術在李查維王朝(Licchavi,約300~879)的延續。背光呈橢圓形,邊緣飾典型的火焰紋及聯珠紋。
 菩薩面呈圓形,閉目凝神,神態安詳。頭戴帝王式頭冠,上有化佛和渦形裝飾,左肩披一及膝的長聖線,手臂飾蛇形鐲。腰際垂帶刻劃條紋及幾何圖案,落於兩股之間,刻劃簡潔。臂部斜披長飾帶並挽於身側,自然下垂幾至足踝,此式樣源於印度鹿野苑的裝飾手法。右手下垂作與願印,似加持足邊跪拜的女信徒;左手握從地踊出的長莖蓮花。
 頭冠除了中央的阿彌陀化佛之外,形式與考古所發掘出的七世紀皇室人物造像所戴冠形相似。腰臀向右傾側,寬肩,結實的胸部及稍微細小的腰和堅定的姿態等特徵,均受到七世紀加德滿都著名的達伐卡寺(Dhvaka Baha)造像風格影響。推測以冠飾代替髮髻、於素面腰布加上紋樣、飾帶裝飾,以及戴蛇形臂鐲的菩薩造型等,均為此時期的尼泊爾藝術家所創。
