Amulet with Maitreya Bodhisattva

Wood

木雕菩薩像合龕

中國

紫檀木龕像為旅人隨身之物,在新疆亦發現相似的作品,此龕內的菩薩造像以琥珀雕刻而成,是少見的珍品。
 龕呈蓮瓣形,分作二龕,可開闔,內部樣式各有不同。圖右內龕呈圓拱形,龕楣末端卷起,內有一菩薩,像高5.5公分,後有頭光,右手屈舉,左手置於膝上,趺坐於高台座上。座兩側有對獅,張口側首相視。圖左內龕為彌勒菩薩,右手施無畏印,左手持淨瓶,呈倚坐姿,足下有一蓮台。龕像刻工簡練,二菩薩的台座皆以快刀為之,身軀線條柔和,完整地表現精巧與利落的雕刻手法。
 古代僧人和商旅因路程遙遠,多攜帶輕巧簡便的龕像作為禮拜祈願用。印度貴霜王朝(約1~3世紀)的犍陀羅雕刻影響西域,尤其彌勒信仰更盛行一時,許多出土的菩薩造像多以彌勒為主。
