Eight-Armed Avalokitesvara

Stone

八臂觀音菩薩像

柬埔寨

此像乃是高棉(柬埔寨)闍耶跋摩七世(Jayavarman VII,1181~約1220在位)時期佛教造像的創新形式。菩薩梳高髻,戴圓筒狀精美冠飾,正面有一尊阿彌陀佛坐像。臉形方圓,眉略成「一」字形,雙眼閉起,唇厚嘴闊,面帶微笑。上半身正中有一尊較大的佛像,其餘部位及手臂上刻劃整齊排列的小型禪坐佛像,代表菩薩身軀中蘊含了宇宙無盡的世界和無邊的佛法。腰帶上緣有八尊較大的佛像環繞,代表攝受四面八方。
 菩薩八臂,手肘以下均已佚失,推測手中應曾握有法器。腰繫帶,表面飾有細膩的花朵紋樣。下身著山樸(Sampot),中間垂落一魚尾狀的裝飾帶於兩股之間。雙腿顯得壯碩,膝蓋清晰可見。
 方形臉、頭略向前傾和頭飾上的卷曲環飾,為十二世紀末至十三世紀初的典型樣式。腰帶的位置背後高於正面,以及帶上的花朵裝飾都反映出該時期的造像特點。
