佛坐像

巴基斯坦

佛像深目高鼻,蓄鬍髭。身著通肩袈裟,髮髻高聳,頭光邊緣呈鋸齒狀。右手上舉施無畏印,左手握持袈裟衣角。手腳掌心皆刻有蓮花紋,代表佛陀三十二相中的千輻輪。結跏趺坐的姿態,正常應是大拇趾朝外,而此像朝內,為特殊點之一。頭光和袈裟上仍殘存敷金的痕跡,推測原本應金光熠熠。
 據學者考究,此像與西元前的羅馬皇室肖像多有相似之處,如深邃的雙眼,大耳和前額弧形的髮際,由此推測犍陀羅藝術家沿用三百多年來的羅馬古典樣式。由於鋸齒狀的頭光光暈及該佛手腳掌心上的蓮花紋樣,這些特點在其他犍陀羅佛像鮮少出現,據此判斷此像雕造年代應不晚於二世紀中葉,或約與印度秣菟羅(Mathura)同時。早期的犍陀羅造像普遍以片岩為材料,該像是少數銅製品之一,成為犍陀羅地區銅製佛像的重要代表作,彌足珍貴。
