鞏縣石窟第4窟神王像

河南鞏義

位於中心柱基壇四面及東壁底層。中心柱基壇南面中部雕力士,左、右側神王肩上各繞一龍,似均為龍神王。中心柱基壇東面北起第一身雙手執火鉗者係火神王,第二身抱風袋者為風神王,第三身雙手抱膝者不詳,第四身頭毀,身上有串珠者或為珠神王。
 中心柱基壇西面南起第一身抱摩竭魚者似為海神王,第二身雙面抱小孩者或即鬼子母,第三身背後有大樹者係樹神王,第四身雙手托山者即山神王。中心柱基壇北面東起第一身雙肩負魚者為河神王,第二身左手托寶珠者可能是珠神王,第三身戴類似獅首面具者或即獅神王,第四身鳥首人身者當為鳥神王。
 另外窟內東壁底層也留存有九身神王像,其中可辨認的如兔首人身者係兔神王,口銜小蛇者為蛇神王,手執火鉗者為火神王,長髮飄後者似風神王,鳥首人身者即鳥神王,象首人身者係象神王,懷抱魚者為魚神王。鞏縣石窟第1、3、4窟中心基壇或東壁底層(僅第4窟)都有神王像的雕鑿,尤其是第4窟神王像數量較多,內容比東魏武定元年(543)駱子寬等人造像碑座的十神王像、龍門石窟賓陽中洞的神王像要更為豐富。
