Enryakuji Temple: Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara

Nutmeg wood

千手觀音菩薩像

日本

該像為日本滋賀比叡山東塔西谷山王院留傳之造像,約製於九世紀下半葉,為延曆寺現存年代最早的雕像,現藏於該寺國寶殿,現為日本重要文化財。
 除頭上面外,此尊觀音像從頭部到足下台座由榧木整材雕刻而成,造像內無刳空。頭上立有多面像容,均以插榫方式接合,此外頂上化佛、左邊二面、合掌雙手、持鉢雙手之前端、兩側脇手及帔巾垂下部分等皆為後來補作。
 菩薩立於多重仰蓮台上,戴冠飾,冠旁兩側伸出寶珠形垂飾及繒帶。頭部比例稍大,面相方圓,雙目垂視,眉目修長,鼻梁挺直,臉頰寬薄,五官刻劃深入,輪廓分明。
 除胸前雙手合掌、腹前捧鉢外,其餘手臂集中左右兩側,肘臂較為纖細,手持器物。髮、眉、目、口塗以群青、紅、墨等色彩,全身表面以黃色潤飾。挺立的渦卷紋配以翻波交錯的衣紋樣式,身軀前傾裙裳後曳所展現的動感,精巧鮮明,刀口勁直,表現出平安(794~1185)初期檀像雕刻之精湛技法。
