Maitreya Bodhisattva

Gilt bronze

彌勒菩薩交腳坐像

中國

菩薩頭戴三瓣式高寶冠,繒帶飄垂至肩。臉形長圓,五官靈秀。飾懸鈴項圈,帔帛自兩肩下垂,於腹部交叉後懸臂垂展於身側。下裙輕薄貼體,褶紋呈扇形舒展。右手施無畏印,左手作與願印,交腳坐於獨足金翅鳥榻座上,足尖輕點雙蓮,姿態優美。
 鳥尾高翹,獨爪奇大,十分特殊,鳥羽紋理刻劃細膩。鳥形榻座下為多層階梯式台座,上層扁平;中層四面鏤空花紋,正面上沿置一小供養人,與菩薩形成對比,突顯了主尊之崇偉;下層四足方台正面上沿左右各置一供養菩薩,中間置一龜。台座還有其他飾物插孔,但物已失。
 此像四足方台背面刻發願文「大魏神龜元年(518)三月甲辰朔三日丙午中山上曲陽民□夏□上為過去亡父母兄弟存上居家眷屬造交腳彌勒坐像一軀並諸供養雜事願使無邊眾生皆同其福託生四方妙樂國土蓮華三會與佛相隨所願如是故記之耳」。造像風格與特徵完全與北魏(386~534)龍門石窟所造交腳菩薩像一致,此像是當時流行的交腳彌勒菩薩之金銅佛像之精品。
