Nagapattinam: Standing Buddha

Bronze

佛立像

印度坦米爾納德邦納加帕蒂南出土

印度坦米爾納德邦納加帕蒂南(Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu)出土。該像出自當地一座佛塔,一般稱之為中國佛塔。根據此塔銘文,帕拉瓦王朝(Pallava,4世紀初~9世紀末)納爾西馬跋摩二世(Narsimavarman II,690~720在位)時期,中國皇帝下詔為遠在納加帕蒂南的中國商旅建造。馬可波羅十三世紀造訪印度時亦曾記載此塔,顯示大批中國信徒或商旅曾到印度南方海岸。
 該像螺髮肉髻,髻頂置蓮蕾紋飾。額窄頰豐,眉細目長,眼瞼低垂。鼻子細長,表情安詳靜謐。著袒右袈裟,衣薄貼體,身形壯碩厚實。雙手平舉於胸側結印,直立於仰覆蓮台上。
 整體風格非純印度式,藝術表現明顯帶有異國色彩,最顯著處為髻頂的紋飾,以及雙手印相,這種手勢為東南亞佛像的特徵之一。此佛立像是十至十一世紀中國及東南亞與印度相互交流的重要例證。
