唐招提寺持國天王及增長天王像
日本
位於講堂須彌壇主尊彌勒佛坐像之左右。雕造於八世紀下半葉。從髻頂至足部榫頭由檜木整材雕出，像不刳空，持國天王的右手與增長天王右臂膊、左手腕等為後來補上，邪鬼則為近世補作。二像僅頭髮、雙目及嘴唇部分施彩，其餘以素木潤飾完成，推測係該寺創建時期所作，現為日本重要文化財。
二像均頭髮上梳，結髮髻，鼓目，白眼與眼瞳刻線分明。體格矮胖而壯碩，左手垂下呈握戟之姿，向右扭轉腰身，立於邪鬼上，身穿鎧甲，下著裙褲，正面股間垂下的裙裾衣紋摺疊深雕，呈現其深度和立體感，膝蓋下繫以繩帶，更顯裙褲膨大鼓出，寫實逼真。鎧甲上的圖案主要以寶相花紋為主，刻劃分明，密緻華麗，被認為係沿襲中國木雕風格。增長天王纏繞於胸前的束帶及腰身之革帶等裝束，被認為受到中國唐代（618～907）雕刻的影響。
