小西天大雄寶殿造像
中國
位於山西省臨汾市隰縣小西天大雄寶殿。小西天又稱千佛庵，分上下兩院，大雄寶殿位於上院，坐西朝東，殿內中央佛壇設五個相通的佛龕，龕間以四重寶塔相隔，塔上塑菩薩、天王等小型造像。
各龕所塑主佛及脇侍菩薩由南至北依序為藥師佛和日光、月光菩薩；阿彌陀佛和觀音、大勢至菩薩；釋迦牟尼佛和文殊、普賢菩薩；毗盧遮那佛與文殊、普賢菩薩；彌勒佛與法音林、大妙相菩薩等。
南北兩壁均由上下兩部分組成，下部皆塑十大弟子及童子立像。上部南壁為西方淨土變，以阿彌陀佛為中心，左右脇侍為觀音和大勢至菩薩；北壁表現毗盧遮那佛於七處九會說法的場景。殿頂裝飾各種彩塑形象，殿內梁架上遍繪團花和纏枝蓮花圖案。
全殿面積雖僅169.6平方公尺，但造像內容豐富，表現佛國勝景，有如一毫端現三千大千世界。
