崇慶寺十八羅漢像
中國
位於三大士殿。殿內兩側塑十八羅漢，每側九尊，大小與真人相仿。羅漢的形象特徵佛教經論並無記載，故造型有較大的想像空間。唐武宗（840～846在位）會昌法難之後，佛教的宗教性格漸漸薄弱，相對人間化的庶民性格增加，是故羅漢像的表現就充滿了親切與平易近人的性格風貌。
該寺十八羅漢皆採坐姿，形象姿態各異。有呈梵相的頭陀苦行僧，有青年漢僧，有老者漢僧。或皺紋密布，瘦骨嶙峋，兩腮塌陷，雙眉緊鎖，兩眼微閉；或面相豐圓，眉目清秀，凝眸沉思，溫文儒雅；或濃眉，絡腮鬍鬚，雙目炯炯有神；或相貌圓胖，面帶笑意，神態、動作自然隨意。身或著袒右袈裟，或著袍服，袈裟衣紋流暢自然。
匠師透過精湛的雕刻技法，將現實生活與人性內心世界的刻劃融入於造像中，更顯得羅漢群像栩栩如生。
