Toling Monastery White Hall: Vaisravana (detail)
托林寺毗沙門天王像
中國
位於托林寺（mtho lding dgon）白殿南壁東側。十五世紀作品。毗沙門為漢譯經典中的北方多聞天王，於藏傳佛教中被視為戰神或財神。
主尊毗沙門帶頭光，飾高冠，兩眼圓瞪，威而不怒。身著戎裝，紋飾繁複。右手持勝利幢，左手握吐寶獸，坐於雪獅上，其下有一蓮座。
主尊獨立於層疊而上的華麗殿堂龕內，四周圍繞八馬主部眾，身形各異，多為騎戰馬、持吐寶獸之武士形象，也有黃財神與黑財神等身相，呈現浩大陣勢。其間飾有諸多供養物、動物等，填滿空間。
整體構圖之邊緣，或有人與非人等，姿態迥異。顏色豐富，繪畫細膩。
