Maitreya Bodhisattva

Schist

彌勒菩薩像

巴基斯坦

菩薩方臉,頭頂束髻,卷髮披至肩後,唇上蓄髭,眉間有白毫,飾耳璫。腰繫裙,寬厚的大衣自左肩垂下披搭於右臂上,胸前佩戴項圈、瓔珞、鍊飾和臂釧。右臂三葉形臂釧以珠鍊繞肩。繩鞋飾有獅頭圖案。在古印度,民眾將崇拜的神祇戴在項上作為守護,該像的項圈中央飾神像,有學者認為是希臘海神波塞冬(Poseidon)、塞拉匹斯(Serapis)或波斯拜火教的阿胡拉馬茲達(Ahura Mazda),但迄無定論。頭光已缺失,右手、左前臂亦斷損。其中前臂抬起,右腕斷殘處可見卯眼,係為原有組件的安裝所刻。左手因已斷佚,無法推測持物情況。菩薩重心落在右腳。台座正面立柱之間刻有兜率天上的彌勒菩薩趺坐禪定及左右比丘禮讚的場面。
 此像身材比例適度、穩定端莊,髮絲、衣紋和肌膚表現皆精緻、傳神,是現存較大型的犍陀羅彌勒菩薩造像。
