Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Gilt bronze

觀音菩薩像

尼泊爾

此尼泊爾菩薩像寶冠上有阿彌陀佛坐像,故知為觀音菩薩;因手持蓮莖,亦稱蓮花手菩薩。此像左手原拈花莖,現略有毀損,但左上臂花莖和蓮花保存良好。
 菩薩額頭高廣,五官精緻,栩栩如生。梳高髻,頂飾蓮蕾;戴寶冠,冠帶卷曲於耳畔。袒上身,佩戴寶石項鍊和臂釧,飾長聖線;下圍腰布,股間褶襬層疊有致。巧妙傾斜的身體,平滑和高度磨光的表面,具特殊的韻律感和優雅感。
 此像的裝飾精緻,諸如精美的冠飾,冠箍兩側卷曲冠帶和下裳的褶襬等樣式,明顯受到印度波羅王朝(Pala,約8~12世紀)藝術的影響。
 造像採脫蠟法製造,含銅成分高,呈現出少見的深褐色,展現高超的技術和不凡的藝術品味,說明十二世紀正是尼泊爾金屬鑄造最成熟和富創造力的時期,為現存尼泊爾青銅像中最重要和最優美的作品之一。
