佛傳圖

傳巴基斯坦西北邊境省白夏瓦出土

傳巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省白夏瓦(Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)出土,屬犍陀羅佛傳浮雕之一。此圖刻於塔形浮雕嵌板上。外周以三角形鋸齒紋作邊飾,以葡萄卷草紋飾帶作橫向區隔,劃分為三層,表現佛陀出家前的故事,由上而下為太子降誕、決意出家、踰城出家。
 上層呈圓拱形,刻劃摩耶夫人在藍毗尼園的無憂樹下,當舉起右臂之際,悉達多太子由右脇降誕,帝釋天在旁接捧剛出生的太子。中層表現太子在宮廷酒宴後,看見宮女疲倦橫臥的醜態,更加決意出離世俗的享樂,默默地告別熟睡中的妃子耶輸陀羅,傳喚車匿與愛馬犍陟。圖右邊宮女靠著樂鼓臥眠,左邊車匿持傘蓋、牽馬,準備與太子離宮出城。下層太子騎乘犍陟,下面有夜叉托起馬蹄,車匿在一旁高舉傘蓋。太子右邊的一位武士,頭戴鳥翼,著長袖上衣,披鎧甲,手拿弓箭,人物身分無法確認,有學者認為是阻擾太子出家的魔王波旬,一說是帝釋天,或引領護衛太子的毗沙門天。
