Sarnath: Standing Buddha

Red sandstone

佛立像

印度北方邦鹿野苑遺址出土

印度北方邦瓦拉那西(Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh)鹿野苑(Sarnath)出土。材質為砂岩,故一般認為是在秣菟羅(Mathura)雕刻完成之後運到鹿野苑的作品。
 佛右臂損毀,面部與雙腳有磨損,其他部分保存狀態大致完好。面露古風式微笑,平肩闊胸,左手張肘當腰。袒右袈裟輕薄貼體,以規整的線條刻劃衣紋的特徵為秣菟羅藥叉傳統造像的延續,而正面直立、壯碩威嚴的造型特徵則與迦膩色迦王立像有共同之處。佛雙腳之間雕蹲獅,表徵對偉大釋尊的崇敬。
 像後立一個粗大的石柱,其上原有一個直徑3公尺的傘蓋,傘蓋內側有蓮花、滿瓶、雙魚、忍冬紋及三寶標等浮雕紋樣。
 台座正面與佛腳跟處有貴霜王朝迦膩色迦王三年(約131)巴拉比丘(Bala)等人的捐贈銘文,石柱上亦有一段內容近似的銘文,銘文中稱此像為「菩薩」,反映了佛陀造像初出現時,人們對製作佛像的觀念,具有珍貴的史料價值。
