Shotorak: Maitreya Bodhisattva Teaching the Dharma

Schist

彌勒菩薩說法圖

阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆派特瓦佛寺遺址出土

阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆(Bagram, Parwan)蘇托拉克(Shotorak)佛寺遺址出土,貝格拉姆即為迦畢試(Kapisa)古城。整幅浮雕上方為柱列式欄楯,畫面以希臘科林斯式(Corinthian)列柱分隔空間。彌勒菩薩居於象徵天宮的梯形建築內,卷髮束成高髻,雙手結說法印,交腳坐於台座上,其衣著、項圈、瓔珞及耳璫等裝束,形象近似一位印度王子。其肩上兩側各有一手持樂器的飛天。兩側樓上的欄杆後面各有二位供養天人,均一手持花枝、一手捧鉢狀物;樓下兩側各有一身穿著華麗、呈自在坐姿的天人,側身仰視中央的彌勒菩薩,神情專注,似在凝神聽法。畫面兩端各有持長槍和棍棒的力士護衛。
 浮雕整體人物造型、衣飾及原有敷彩等特徵,不但具犍陀羅美術樣式,同時也沿襲了來自伊朗的藝術風格,是古迦畢試地區最具特色和代表性的兜率天上彌勒菩薩說法圖作品。
