東大寺執金剛神像

日本

位於法華堂主尊不空●(Q)索觀音立像後方的佛龕內,為東大寺中最古的一尊祕佛神像,並完善地保存當初華麗的彩色花紋和貼金。此尊原為東大寺開山祖師良弁生前所供奉,每年十二月十六日良弁僧正圓寂紀念日時,由寺方開扉供人參拜。一九五一年指定為日本國寶。
 此造像特徵與中國唐朝(618~907)的天王像相似,肌膚近真人膚色,口內塗上大紅色,鎧甲描金彩繪,邊緣以墨色勾勒卷草紋,衣服則施以朱、綠青、群青等顏料,色彩豔麗,並飾盛唐(712~756)團花等圖案。右手握金剛杵,左手攥緊拳頭,右曳腰身,叉開雙腳立於岩座上。圓睜的眼睛嵌上黑曜石,栩栩如生。鼻翼鼓起,張口露牙,隆起筋肉表現滿面的怒氣,充滿著強力動感。圓熟的技法被視為奈良時代(710~794)塑像中最寫實的創作,也是單體執金剛神像最早範例,反映密教佛像造像新式樣。
