Xiude Temple: Bodhisattva in Contemplation
Marble
郅廣壽造思惟菩薩半跏像
河北省保定市曲陽縣修德寺遺址出土
一九五四年河北省保定市曲陽縣修德寺遺址出土。此尊造像面形略長，右手持蓮莖並以手指輕觸臉頰。右腿擱於左膝上，左下臂已殘失，僅剩握右足之左手，神態自然，為北朝（386～581）典型的思惟菩薩姿勢。菩薩頭戴高蓮冠，上身略向前傾，閉目沉思，俯首微笑，露出似有所悟之喜悅。其頭光圓如寶珠，蓮冠帶飾向上揚舉，帔帛如翼狀向外飄展，襯托著頸長肩小，腰身細長的身軀，沉靜中亦表現出優美的動感。
座下為覆蓮形台座，台座下方立面刻發願文「大代興和二年（540）／歲在庚申二月／己卯朔廿三日辛／丑清信佛弟子／郅廣壽仰為亡／考敬造玉思惟／一區願亡考上生／淨妙國土合家眷／屬常居富利七／世同沾有形齊／潤所願如是／像主前平鄉令／郅僧景」。
整體造像刻工精細，形象優美，又有明確紀年，為東魏（534～550）曲陽式造像中最具特色與代表性的作品。
