Seated Buddha

Gilt bronze

佛坐像

傳印度坦米爾納德邦謎羅遊爾出土

傳印度坦米爾納德邦謎羅遊爾(Melayur, Tamil Nadu)出土。此像螺髮肉髻,髻頂置火焰紋飾,似象徵佛進入甚深禪定時所表現的大智慧,此圖像為印度南部造像特色之一。
 五官秀氣,頸項較粗,體型魁偉。著袒右袈裟,僅於衣襟、袖口和小腿部分刻劃衣紋。右手舉於胸側作論辯印,左手置於腹前,半跏趺坐於蓮座上;此種坐姿常見於印度南部造像,在該國其他地區則十分罕見。
 佛身下端以天城體鐫刻佛教偈語,意為「諸法從因生,諸法從因滅,如是滅與生,沙門說如是」。此偈見《佛本行集經》卷四十八〈舍利目連因緣品下〉。
 蓮座下之台座已佚。背光下方兩側豎立柱,立柱外側各有一神獸,均兩蹄揚起,背負一人。柱頭承托摩竭魚,張嘴,魚身和魚尾蜿蜒向上延伸呈蓮瓣形,表面布滿花蔓紋飾。背光頂端置一精緻華蓋,華蓋上為仰覆蓮和寶珠,兩側飾對稱卷雲紋。
