Bhaja Cave 18: Figures Riding a Horse Chariot and an Elephant (detail)

巴賈石窟第18窟供養人像

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦浦那

位於巴賈石窟(Bhaja Caves)第18窟門廊南壁,是印度現存早期雕塑之一。浮雕中央為四匹馬牽挽的馬車,手握韁繩作王族打扮之供養人居於馬車正中,推測為日天。其左、右侍女分別執持拂塵及寶蓋。馬車下輾壓著一巨人。
 王族及侍女皆綰高髮髻,戴項圈、臂釧,侍女飾巨大的耳璫。四匹駿馬緊密並排,馬鬃、韁繩、車輪等皆雕刻細緻。馬車上的人物都是正面造型,馬車及馬匹則作斜向側面,增加了生動感,該窟亦因此作品而馳名。
