Mogao Cave 17: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Ten Kings of Hell (detail)
Ink and color on paper
地藏十王圖
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土
甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。此地藏十王圖前半部缺損，只剩後半部的五位冥王及地藏菩薩。畫面由上而下自右起開始描繪，每位冥王坐於桌前，旁立善、惡童子，王前為獄卒押著身負枷鎖的亡者赴審的情景。最後以六朵黑雲代表判定投生六道的其中一道。
卷末繪地藏菩薩手執錫杖，其前是從黑牆圍繞之地獄逃出的亡者，被獄卒追趕，前來向地藏菩薩求救，表現地藏慈悲救度的情形。依據畫中男子所戴襆帽樣式，以及婦女髮上只插一支髮簪來看，推測此圖應繪製於十世紀。
