巴中西龕石窟第21龕

四川巴中

位於佛爺灣。始鑿於隋代(581~618)。為三層龕,風化嚴重。外龕方形敞口平頂;中層龕為二重檐佛帳龕,方形龕楣上垂帳;內龕圓拱形,寬1.92公尺,高2.30公尺,進深1.2公尺,尖拱形龕楣上刻七佛與六伎樂天。此龕龕楣裝飾華麗,是巴中石窟較之四川其他地區石窟的一顯著特點。
 內龕雕一佛二弟子二菩薩,諸像身後浮雕天龍八部與聽法人像,龕外左右兩側各雕一尊力士像;外龕左右各雕一尊天王像,龕頂浮雕伎樂天四身。主尊佛今已不存,菩薩、弟子等均殘損不清。力士項飾瓔珞,下著百褶長裙,長裙褶紋細密,裙襬斜飄向後方,與巴中及廣元石窟的唐代(618~907)力士有所不同。天王身著鎧甲,佩劍,腳蹬長靴踏地鬼,舒相坐,亦與一般天王姿勢不同。
 外龕左壁鐫有唐乾符五年(878)題記「子蒙廣之/仰之義瞻/敷言中譽/義卿七人乾符五年十二月三日題/四子見/撰書」。中龕左壁刻有五代十國前蜀永平三年(913)題記「檢得大隋大業五年(609)造前件古像/永平三年院主僧傅芝記」。該龕造像大多具有明顯的唐代風格,但其中應有代表隋代原貌的作品。
