Bodhisattva in Contemplation (back)
比丘道常造思惟菩薩半跏像
中國
該像坐於圓凳上，頭部和右肘皆缺損。上身稍微前傾，左腳踩覆蓮，右腳平擱在左膝上；左手輕按右踝，右肘擱右膝，體態均勻，姿勢優美。背部質感柔潤，中刻脊線，顯見作者對人體結構準確的把握。衣紋僅以簡單的線條勾勒出輕薄貼體。裙襬垂落，呈多重襞褶，點綴了單調的裝束。雖然頭部已佚，卻不失菩薩純樸自然、俊美的特質。
方座上刻銘文「大齊天保／四年歲（553）次／癸酉八月／辛卯朔十／九日已酉／□宋寺比／丘道常減／剖衣鉢之／資敬造太／子像一軀／普為一切／眾生國王／帝主師僧／父母普同／斯福」，依銘文推斷為悉達多太子像，而非半跏思惟彌勒菩薩像。
