Sanchi Stupa 1: Buddha Triad

Sandstone

桑奇一號塔一佛二菩薩像

印度

位於東門。桑奇一號塔四面入口處內部各供奉一組一佛二菩薩像。主尊均結跏趺坐於方形台座上,作禪定印,其中僅有東門的佛陀頭部保存較好。東門圍欄遺存之銘文,記載了信徒於四五○年點燈供養四尊佛像的事由。一般認為銘文中提到的四尊佛像即此四組造像之主尊,由此推測在四五○年以前,四組造像已安置於此。
 圖為東門的組合,以一佛二菩薩二飛天的形式構成,承襲了貴霜王朝(約1~3世紀)秣菟羅(Mathura)三尊式佛陀造像的傳統。中央主尊佛坐像肉髻低緩,右旋的螺髮顆粒較小。面相豐圓,斂目,特別是全身結構輪廓,修長的身體比例和圓領通肩袈裟,與鹿野苑佛像造型特色一致。此外,佛像軀幹的厚重感是當時流行的趨勢,胸前的「U」形衣紋與古秣菟羅佛像造型傳統相似。碩大精美的頭光由內向外依次飾蓮花、花蔓、卷草及鋸齒紋所構成。二脇侍的頭部遺失,上方左右為飛天,作散花狀。
