阿爾奇寺千佛圖

印度

位於阿爾奇寺(Alchi Gompa)三層堂(Sumtsek)第一層西壁龕外南、北側。南側壁面經過修復,北側則保存較為完好。此二圖共繪八百一十四尊阿彌陀佛坐像,形成千佛圖。二幅群像中心各以一較大的阿彌陀佛為中尊,居於龕內。龕高59公分,寬35公分。佛紅色身相,頂髻高圓,戴尖葉形寶冠,冠上寶繒懸垂及肩,眉間現白毫。身飾瓔珞,著通肩袈裟,禪定趺坐。身後為藍紅黃三色圓輪烘托,頭光和背光分別施以橙黃二色,座下蓮瓣色彩交錯,座前五隻藍色孔雀並列。
 南側中尊袈裟綴滿圈著半獅半象瑞獸的圖案。龕楣中間兩名白色身相之騎獅神祇手執麈尾,回首對視;兩端佇立共命鳥。兩邊龕柱柱頭上立緊那羅,雙手合十,虔敬禮佛。佛座下兩側各有一蓄鬚男子,俯首禮敬,其身側有數個法螺,上置供物。龕下為束腰須彌座,座下依次並列珠、馬、居士、輪、女、象、主兵臣等七政寶,形制特殊。
 北側中尊眉毛、上眼瞼、鼻梁、嘴唇及下頦顏色點描淺紅,加強五官立體感。身上袈裟綴飾花朵和騎馬的弓箭手圖案,並以幾何圖形作區隔,富有裝飾意味。龕楣上方四名飛天手捧法螺,散花供養。二龕柱柱頭上之緊那羅,均持長形樂器,作鳴吹狀,於佛右側者擎傘蓋,左側者持幢幡;柱身有數瑞獸上下疊立,形態活潑。龕下須彌座立面繪三名女神祇。須彌座下有六名伎樂,各持不同樂器,反映出音樂於密教儀軌中之重要性。
 圍繞中尊的諸多小型阿彌陀佛坐像,各帶頭光及七彩背光,著藍色或褐色袈裟,或平素無紋,或綴由「卍」字形交叉組合而成的紋樣,極為別致。整體繪工細緻入微,呈現出瑰麗多姿之千佛化境。
