Toling Monastery White Hall: Sarasvati
托林寺妙音佛母像
中國
位於托林寺（mtho lding dgon）白殿東壁。十五世紀作品。妙音佛母於《金光明最勝王經》卷七〈大辯才天女品〉中可見記載：「……常以八臂自莊嚴；各持弓箭刀槊斧，長杵鐵輪并●（上四+下絹）索。端正樂見如滿月，言詞無滯出和音。」其守護受持《金光明經》者，於密教胎藏曼荼羅外金剛部院之構圖中，亦常有妙音佛母端坐一隅，手持琵琶，示以天樂繚繞。
妙音佛母帶圓形頭光和身光。頂飾寶冠，冠繒飄揚，彎眉細目，嘴巴微抿，豐胸細腰。飾耳璫，瓔珞嚴身，帔帛繞臂，下裳華麗，紋飾繁複。雙手彈奏琵琶，跣足交腳而坐，下為一蓮座，蓮瓣分明，紅黑交錯。
畫面背景以紅色為地，繪於龕形空間內，龕楣紋飾極為華麗。
