阿瑪拉瓦提須大拏太子本生圖
印度安得拉邦阿瑪拉瓦提遺址出土
印度安得拉邦（Andhra Pradesh）阿瑪拉瓦提遺址（Amaravati）出土。原為大塔欄楯笠石的浮雕裝飾。石板以豎柱隔出三個區間，畫面從左至右刻劃須大拏太子本生故事中的情節。
左圖下半部三名婆羅門前來請求布施國寶白象，戴寶冠的太子手持水瓶，表徵讓渡。中圖下半部描述太子因布施寶象，與妻兒同被國王放逐，赴森林途中將所乘的馬車又布施給婆羅門；上半部則表現太子與妻兒隱居山林，仍然樂於布施。右圖下半部敘述須大拏最後連妻兒都布施了，帝釋天受其感動，化身婆羅門向太子祝福；上半部則是須大拏的德行獲得認同，被迎回王宮。
此圖人物造型纖細，手足修長，表現出柔軟流暢的動感，是阿瑪拉瓦提雕刻所特有的手法。
