炳靈寺石窟第169窟一佛二脇侍龕像

甘肅永靖

位於北壁上層東側,洞口高處的陡坡上,編號第3龕。為半圓形背屏式淺龕,由藤條抹泥製成,寬、高均2.3公尺,進深0.65公尺。龕內有泥塑一佛一菩薩一天王三身像和優美的舉身光壁畫。
 主尊坐佛高1.35公尺,高肉髻,臉形長方飽滿,墨筆勾勒眉眼和鬍鬚,著通肩大衣,結禪定印,身形厚壯結實,結跏趺坐於長方形台座上。佛左側天王像,是炳靈寺石窟最早之天王像;高1.3公尺,束髮髻,戴腕釧,下頦鬍鬚陰刻呈放射狀,五官緊湊,左手握劍,右手舉金剛杵,著高領緊身鎧甲,下穿戰裙,披風於身後迎風舒展。佛右側菩薩像高1.32公尺,頭頂束高髮髻,長髮披肩,戴耳飾、項圈、瓔珞,袒上身,下著裙,帔帛一端搭左臂,一端繞身後垂於右臂後,左手上舉持蓮蕾,右手於體側握帔帛。
 坐佛身後繪頭光和舉身光。頭光內圈繪蓮花紋,外圈繪禪定佛九身,舉身光內外圈繪火焰紋和七身供養菩薩。龕壁頂部中間繪華蓋,兩側繪飛天各一身,體量較大,袒上身,下著裙,身後帔巾飛揚。伎樂飛天、供養菩薩像使用了大量的平塗技法,線條較為直硬。龕內菩薩像右肘處有北魏「大代延昌四年(515)」題記,證明此龕應完成於此年之前。
