阿彌陀佛接引圖

內蒙古自治區阿拉善盟額濟納旗黑水城出土

內蒙古自治區阿拉善盟額濟納旗黑水城出土。十二世紀末作品。圖右半部繪阿彌陀佛,左半部觀音菩薩與大勢至菩薩身軀較小,主次關係明顯,三者皆立於赤、青、綠、黃的渦卷彩雲上。阿彌陀佛作接引狀,有綠色頭光及紅色舉身光,身著雙領下垂式袈裟,雙足各踏青、紅蓮。觀音菩薩側立,寶冠上有化佛,頭光為白色,足踏青蓮;大勢至菩薩寶冠上飾寶瓶,頭光為青色。
 二菩薩手捧金色蓮台,作勢迎接圖左下角的往生男子。男子的髮型、服裝為西夏(1032~1227)党項族特有,其頭頂升起一道光束,化為騰雲的童子,光束蜿蜒至阿彌陀佛的白毫,象徵往生淨土。
 背景以紅色為底,上方繪天宮樓閣及蓮花、笛、鼓、琵琶等樂器,表現淨土世界的莊嚴。此幅作品強調西方淨土三尊與被接引者的關係,設色鮮豔,線條流暢,服飾容貌無不精心描繪。
