Preah Khan Temple: Buddha Protected by Mucalinda

Sandstone

龍王護佛像

柬埔寨暹粒省暹粒市聖劍寺出土

柬埔寨暹粒省暹粒市吳哥城(Angkor Thom, Siem Reap)聖劍寺(Preah Khan Temple)出土。此作品表現目支鄰陀龍王以身護衛佛的題材。禪定中的佛法相莊嚴,寬額廣頤,頭頂肉髻呈尖錐狀,分作多層,線刻螺髮呈漩渦形。五官輪廓鮮明,刻劃精緻,面帶微笑,栩栩如生。其身後龍身相連形成頭光,雖已殘損,仍可見其細膩紋路。
 此像呈現出吳哥時期(約9~15世紀)的巴戎(Bayon)風格,宛如闍耶跋摩七世(Jayavarman VII,1181~約1220在位)的肖像,符合當時將皇室人物神格化的作風。闍耶跋摩七世中斷了高棉(今柬埔寨)各朝國王對印度宇宙體系的崇信,並將佛教正式定為國教。高棉的藝術水平在其統治期內,達到圓滿、無與倫比的高峰。此俊秀造像以修行者的形象出現,通身無華貴的瓔珞裝飾,其雙目緊合,彷彿對世間的變異無動於衷,隱約透出一位覺者的神聖性以及內斂含蓄的氣質。
