Swat: Paying Respect to the Buddha’s Aureole
Schist
禮拜日輪圖
巴基斯坦西北邊境省斯瓦特出土
巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省斯瓦特（Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa）出土。該圖表現佛陀初成道時，梵天勸請住世說法的場面。
方形台座上方為一個大圓光輪，圓周飾以鋸齒紋，代表佛陀的光焰，以太陽象徵佛陀。圖左側有綰髮鬚面的梵天，右側為戴敷巾冠飾的帝釋天，二人半側而立，合掌禮拜。上方菩提樹葉片相疊，瓣瓣呈菱形，茂密繁盛，如同寶蓋，兩側各有飛天散花供養。
以菩提樹、太陽、法輪、台座等象徵佛陀，是早期佛教美術盛行的表現手法，故此作應屬犍陀羅最初期的作品之一，可視為斯瓦特地區的風格。
