Bingling Temple Cave 169: Niche Sculptures

Stone-core clay

炳靈寺石窟第169窟龕像

甘肅永靖

位於西壁上層中間第18龕。崖壁上共鑿有十三座單尊龕,石胎泥塑,大部分泥皮已脫落,露出石胎,有的風化嚴重。
 以中部最大的立佛龕為中心,龕群可分為三層,上層五龕,中層七龕,下層一龕。佛像大小不等,其中最小的佛像僅0.2公尺高,最大的高達4公尺。佛像以坐佛居多,有十一身,均結禪定印,著通肩或袒右袈裟,結跏趺坐。立佛有二身,以西壁中部的大型立佛最突出,高4公尺,為高浮雕石胎泥塑;高肉髻,長圓臉,粗頸,身軀高大健壯;內著僧祇支,外著袒右袈裟,右披偏衫,小腿部位留有部分泥塑裙裾,陰刻細密的衣紋;左手於胸前握衣緣,右手下垂,兩腳分開立於蓮台上。
 此龕像群造型多雷同,風格古樸,具有明顯的早期特徵,被認為是窟中早於十六國西秦建弘元年(420)的一批造像。在藝術風格上,大龕立佛似受到犍陀羅藝術的影響。
