Saidaiji Temple: Manjusri Bodhisattva and Attendants

Cypress wood

西大寺文殊菩薩及脇侍像

日本

位於日本奈良市西大寺芝町西大寺本堂。原為文殊堂之主尊,今供奉於本堂。以騎獅之文殊菩薩為中心,善財童子、于闐王、佛陀波利及大聖老人四位眷屬隨侍四周,像高約82.5~119.6公分不等,現為日本重要文化財。
 五尊像皆以檜木多材接合而成,眼鑲嵌玉石,外表施加彩色,並塗以金泥、貼金紋樣之裝飾。文殊菩薩結跏趺坐於多重蓮座上,身後為透雕火焰紋的舟形背光,具躍動感;透雕寶冠精細。右手握劍,左手持蓮花,乘騎於獅背上。獅子睜眼張口,粗壯碩大,頸部鬃毛茸密,更顯威猛。
 善財童子臉向右側、雙手合掌侍立於菩薩左前方;其後為佛陀波利尊者,身著僧服,右手持錫杖,左手托經卷,神情怡然。于闐王侍立於菩薩右前方,戴帽,腰間配刀,作武士裝扮,右手握拳,伸展左手拉住韁繩,似為前導;其後為大聖老人,右手持杖,仰視上方。四眷屬形成動靜、老少對比,構成極富變化之組合。
 據主尊像內的裝藏品及獅子胎內墨書銘記載,該像為僧叡尊圓寂三年後鎌倉永仁元年(1293)其弟子發願雕造,正安四年(1302)完成。
