佛說法圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省白夏瓦薩利巴路爾佛寺遺址出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省白夏瓦(Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)薩利巴路爾(Sahri Bahlol)佛寺遺址出土。
 中尊佛陀結跏趺坐於大型四重蓮花座上,內著僧祇支,外披袒右袈裟,雙手於胸前作轉法輪印。左右脇侍菩薩均唇上蓄髭,佩戴項飾、瓔珞,斜掛帔帛,繫腰布。
 佛左側菩薩束髮高髻,右手高舉至肩,掌心向內,左手雖已斷損,仍可推測是持水瓶的彌勒菩薩。右側菩薩頭戴扇形冠,左手握蓮花,當為觀音菩薩。
 佛陀與二菩薩之間有一對身形稍小的人物,側身轉向佛陀。左側戴冠、手持金剛杵者為帝釋天,右側提水瓶者為梵天。上方有鏤刻的菩提樹,宛如華蓋般籠罩著佛陀。樹中央有一天人,臉部已損,帶頭光。兩側各有一菩薩結跏趺坐,手當胸結印。
 畫面上部兩端各有一屋形方龕,龕兩側有希臘科林斯式(Corinthian)角柱,龕內均有一結禪定印的坐佛,結跏趺坐於束腰蓮座上。浮雕下部底座正面中央浮雕一坐佛,兩側各有供養人,左右兩端刻劃佛傳故事;左端表現難陀與跋難陀二龍王皈依佛陀的題材。
 構圖內容豐富,除主像三尊外,同時出現梵天、帝釋天及多尊化佛,故而有學者判認此作係表現舍衛城神變故事,但說法紛紜,目前尚無定論。
