Thareli: Two Mothers Fighting over a Child

Schist

端正王本生圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省塔來里佛寺遺址出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省塔來里(Thareli, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)佛寺遺址出土。事見《賢愚經》卷十一〈檀膩羈品〉,敘述二女爭奪一子,相持不下,委請賢者端正王判決。端正王令二女各挽小孩一手,以能拉到自已身邊的判為歸屬。拉扯中,母親深懷慈心,不忍兒子疼痛而放手。端正王以智慧揭露了用力拉扯的惡女,將孩子歸還給真正的母親。
 此作品以高浮雕方式表現端正王本生故事。二位婦人服飾、裝扮相仿,波狀卷髮在腦後綰成大髻,身穿希臘式寬大的上衣和覆足的裙裳。二女為爭奪孩子,激烈爭論致使肩上的衣服滑落下來。浮雕中央的孩童右手抓住其右邊婦人的裙裳,右邊婦女應為生母,而左邊婦人則是惡女。
 此題材的作品在犍陀羅僅發現此例,屬較早期的浮雕,雖有部分損毀,但生動、寫實,不失為一件出色的珍作。
