雙神變像
阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆派特瓦佛寺遺址出土
阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆（Bagram, Parwan）派特瓦（Paitava）佛寺遺址出土，貝格拉姆即為迦畢試（Kapisa）古城。該像表現佛陀在舍衛城為度化外道，身上身下發出水、火的神變故事。
主尊佛左手握衣角，右手施無畏印（現已殘損），身著通肩袈裟，下襬以下殘損；上方為執持傘蓋及散花的帝釋天與梵天。佛兩側共刻四尊坐佛，其中左上坐佛為釋迦苦行像，而右下之坐像已殘失。
此迦畢試造像特別之處為兩肩各有四道火焰，足下因缺損而未見水流，應與一世紀後期印度貴霜王朝（約1～3世紀）拜火的民間信仰有關。另迦膩色迦王金幣上，正面的國王像飾有火焰，推論火焰亦具有表徵王權的意義。
