Bihar: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Schist

觀音菩薩像

印度比哈爾邦出土

印度比哈爾邦(Bihar)出土。觀音頂戴化佛寶冠,梳扇形高髻,數綹長髮披於雙肩。臉形長方,耳垂及肩飾大型耳璫。目微啟,凝視下方,眉眼以陰刻線條加強輪廓表現。鼻、唇雖略有磨損,但面相依舊莊嚴,神態氣度雍容。左肩斜披聖線,長及大腿。頸佩項圈,戴臂釧、腰鍊,腹部下方斜披一條寬厚腰帶,於左側繫結,末端懸垂,邊緣翻卷。袒上身,下身腰布薄若蟬翼,幾不可辨,僅於下襬處以棱線表現衣緣。雙手手掌已佚,從背光殘餘的蓮莖痕跡,可知左手原應握著長莖蓮花。觀音右腳外側有一合掌女像,可能為供養人。
 該像冥想的表情和衣服表現手法皆具笈多王朝(約320~540)典型的藝術特徵,但其魁偉厚壯的身形、略顯僵直的姿勢、長方臉形和身上佩戴的精緻飾物,均反映出波羅王朝(Pala,約8~12世紀)早期的造像風格,故推測該像應屬於七世紀末至八世紀初作品。
