Amaravati: Footprints of the Buddha
Limestone
阿瑪拉瓦提佛足印
印度安得拉邦阿瑪拉瓦提遺址出土
印度安得拉邦（Andhra Pradesh）阿瑪拉瓦提遺址（Amaravati）出土。原為大塔的浮雕嵌板，佛足印浮凸，外形平板。腳趾齊長，符合《中阿含經》卷十一所述：「足下生輪，輪有千輻，一切具足。」足心刻千輻輪相，狀如車輪，輻條密集，呈放射狀。腳趾和足掌後跟淺刻「卍」字和三寶標圖樣。三寶標造型為圓形蓮花承托三叉，蓮花和三叉之間以一片葉瓣連結，日輪形的蓮花代表太陽，太陽象徵佛；三叉被視為月，比喻為法；「卍」字則象徵吉祥。
佛足兩側刻摩竭魚口吐蓮花蔓草紋飾，下方為開敷和半開敷蓮花裝飾其間。上方綴滿花朵和果實圖案，細緻美觀，雕刻精細，為阿瑪拉瓦提佛足印浮雕的佳作之一。
