鞍馬寺毗沙門天王及吉祥天與童子像
日本
位於日本京都市左京區鞍馬本町鞍馬寺宸殿。雕造於十一至十二世紀，以毗沙門天王為主尊，吉祥天與善膩師童子為脇侍，是日本現存毗沙門天王及其眷屬像中年代最早之作。吉祥天像內藏經卷，卷末書有大治二年（1127）之紀年，與其他二像約略同時製作。該寺之主尊毗沙門天王為鎮護王城北方之守護神，及司財寶富貴之天部像。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
毗沙門天王頭戴刻有三瓣寶珠之三角形寶冠，蹙眉，緊閉雙唇，嘴角略彎，表情威嚴。右手握三叉戟，左手舉至上額，似眺望遠方。身著鎧甲，謢臂的袖套，與足穿護腿的脛套，一副武士裝扮。吉祥天身著唐服，手托寶珠，雙眼垂視，表情靜謐。善膩師童子在耳邊綰圓形髮髻，作童子形象，手捧梵篋。三尊像整體造型簡潔，衣紋淺雕，僅以墨色描繪眉、眼及朱唇外，其餘皆以素木潤飾完成。
