Nalanda: Life of the Buddha - Birth of Prince Siddhartha

Stone

樹下誕生圖

印度比哈爾邦那爛陀寺遺址出土

印度比哈爾邦(Bihar)那爛陀寺遺址(Nalanda)出土。此圖表現悉達多太子誕生的情景,可能原為佛傳四相或八相圖組合中的作品之一。
 主尊摩耶夫人居中而立,比例特大。以右腳支撐全身重量,上身微向左傾,舉右手攀無憂樹枝。束髮高髻,佩大耳璫、項鍊、臂釧、腕釧,身披長珠串;腰布綴以花飾紋樣,細部裝飾刻劃精緻。腳下蓮台蓮瓣重重交疊,富有層次。
 摩耶夫人右脇外側,悉達多太子身朝外,右腿前屈,左腿後蹬,作飛翔狀,顯示從腋下誕生。摩耶夫人右腿外側,太子直立於五重蓮台上,象徵剛出生時向前行七步,足下生蓮。帝釋天侍立於旁,頭戴高寶冠,手持長花環。摩耶夫人左側,與飛翔的太子相對之處有一尊身分不詳的四臂立像。下方為四面梵天像,立姿與主尊相同,右手執拂,左手持水瓶。蓮台左右兩側分別為男、女供養人像,身形甚小。
 摩耶夫人裝飾化的衣著及優美的體態,反映出九世紀巴洛克藝術所盛行的典雅、優美和浪漫主義,人物造型漸趨好裝飾而過於繁縟,並開始強調女性形體之美,與古典主義的寧靜、單純和近乎嚴肅截然不同。作品整體構圖對稱均衡,人物刻劃生動寫實,為波羅王朝(Pala,約8〜12世紀)佛傳故事浮雕的代表作之一。
