Seated Bodhisattva

Yellow limestone

薛安顥造交腳菩薩像

中國

主尊交腳菩薩坐於中央,頭戴花冠,面相飽滿,身軀豐腴,斜披絡腋,頸飾項圈,戴臂釧、手環,帔帛順雙肩垂下繞肘飄落體側;下裙輕薄貼體,褶紋淺刻,線條輕柔細密;雙手屈臂於胸前結印。腳尖踮於力士托舉的蓮台上,雙足間雕一怪獸。
 主尊兩側侍立二菩薩、二弟子,身軀比例較小,其台座下邊各蹲踞一護法獅,增顯威嚴。背光中央為圓形頭光,上刻卷草紋飾;其正上方浮雕釋迦、多寶二佛並坐像,周緣環以八身伎樂飛天,裙襬衣褶飄動,展現翱翔之姿,形象生動。整體造像構圖嚴謹,疏密得宜。
 四足方台正面刻有發願文「元象元年(538)四月八日佛弟子安東將軍銀青光祿大夫前榮陽(今河南滎陽)太守薛安顥為亡女魏氏造玉像一區願亡者三途莫逕八難勿歷生生之處值佛聞法一切眾生咸同斯福」。
