巴基斯坦吉爾吉特巴爾蒂斯坦直轄區吉爾吉特鎮出土

一九三一年巴基斯坦吉爾吉特巴爾蒂斯坦直轄區吉爾吉特鎮(Gilgit, Gilgit Baltistan)出土,為一部貝葉經之經板畫。此經與數部寫經本同於該鎮一座佛塔中被發掘,均屬印度次大陸最早的寫經。寫經經板的內、外表面彩繪,為印度次大陸現存最早的輕便型繪畫範例,彌足珍貴。
 二片經板的外表面飾卷蓮紋。此圖為內表面,中段繪主尊,比例明顯較大,上段為華蓋,下段為對坐的供養人。圖右經板畫主尊為佛陀,帶頭光,高肉髻,著尖領深紅袈裟,手施說法印,結跏趺坐於複瓣蓮座上。圖左主尊菩薩帶頭光,綰高髻,額上佩一葉形飾物,四縷髮綹披肩;戴項圈、手鐲,上身斜披帔帛,下著腰布;左手撫膝持長莖蓮花,右手結說法印,交腳坐於蓮座,推測是觀音菩薩。經板下段之供養人形貌相似,輪廓具中亞人特徵。頭巾隆起,高領長袍,儼然為當地人的穿著。
