Nalanda: Manjusri Bodhisattva
Stone
文殊菩薩像
印度比哈爾邦那爛陀寺遺址出土
印度比哈爾邦（Bihar）那爛陀寺遺址（Nalanda）出土。後笈多王朝（約550～650）至波羅王朝（Pala，約8～12世紀）文殊菩薩造像廣為流行，此像屬於較早的作品之一。當時那爛陀地區之造像一般身形修長，但亦有少數體態豐腴並充滿量感的作品，此像即為其一。
菩薩挑眉大眼，鼻寬唇厚。梳三條粗大長垂的髮束，髮型獨特。佩戴大型耳璫和飾有獸牙的項圈，顯示印度教童子神的圖像特徵。腰布長度及膝，襞褶呈橫向的規整弧線，刻劃清晰，反映出伽耶地區（Gaya）的造像特色。右手下垂作與願印，左手舉於胸側持握從地長出之長莖睡蓮，立於蓮台上。蓮莖下方結節枝葉茂盛，並長出蓮蕾，形態獨特。在印度的佛教造像中，持睡蓮為文殊菩薩的象徵。
