Ajanta Cave 10: Saddanta Jataka - Final Scene (line drawing)

阿旃陀石窟第10窟六牙象王本生圖

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於阿旃陀石窟(Ajanta Caves)第10窟左壁。屬於阿旃陀石窟前期壁畫,為印度年代最早的本生故事畫之一。取材自南傳《本生經》。描繪釋迦牟尼佛過去世曾為六牙象王,擁有諸多后妃。一日,象王贈送巨蓮予一名象妃,另一象妃自覺不得寵,懷恨自盡前立誓報復,轉生為人後成為某國王妃。王妃唆使國王派人獵殺象王割取象牙,卻於獵人獻上象牙之際突然暴斃。
 畫幅全長約11公尺左右,以十個畫面表現了此則本生故事。諸多場面並不按故事發展的先後順序排列,而是以傳統的一圖多景手法構圖。總體上按照故事發生的地點來安排畫面。此圖為故事最終的場景,描繪獵人取得象牙獻予王妃,王妃當下暴斃,身旁國王伸手攙扶。畫面褪色剝落嚴重,但仍可看出繪畫技法上的某些特點,如高光法等。
