Bihar: Seated Buddha

Black chlorite

佛坐像

印度比哈爾邦出土

印度比哈爾邦(Bihar)出土,刻劃佛傳故事中的獼猴獻蜜。以單一的佛傳故事為題材製作單體造像,僅見於波羅王朝(Pala,約8~12世紀)比哈爾地區。該像可能是八相成道群像中的其中一件作品。
 佛帶圓形頭光,外緣飾火焰紋,簡單美觀。螺髮高肉髻,五官輪廓清晰,以線刻方式強調眼、眉、唇,表情自然。著通肩袈裟,薄衣貼身,淺雕弧線衣紋,線條既不僵硬地對稱,起伏亦與肢體動作無關,極為圖案化,顯然受到笈多王朝(約320~550)秣菟羅(Mathura)雕刻影響。雙手置於腹前托鉢,結跏趺坐於仰覆蓮座上,下為折角方座。獼猴雕於方座中央懸垂帳幔前,側身蹲踞,雙手獻供,兩側對稱雕背向蹲伏的護獅。
 佛身後飾椅靠,兩側雕立柱,外側懸垂長布幔。頭光兩側浮雕化佛,均著袒右袈裟,右手下垂結觸地印,左手置於腹前,結跏趺坐於蓮座上。整體造像輪廓鮮明,構圖對稱,形成視覺上的和諧美感。細節雕刻細緻而嚴謹,為波羅王朝比哈爾地區優秀的作品之一。
