Bharhut: Head of a Male Figure

Red sandstone

巴爾胡特遺址守護神頭像

印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣巴爾胡特遺址出土

印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣(Satna, Allahabad, Madhya Pradesh)巴爾胡特遺址(Bharhut)出土。依據頭像之高度及頭後殘留的痕跡,可知原像應為一尊大型的高浮雕。該像臉形圓渾,眉毛近乎相連,睜眼,鼻翼較寬,嘴小唇厚,表情嚴肅。纏頭巾,裹成寬大高隆的形狀,表面刻多重繁複整齊的紋飾。整體面貌特徵和頭巾裝飾,體現出巴爾胡特獨特的王族造型肖像風格。
 此類王族造型的雕像,應屬大塔欄楯柱守護神的雕刻系列。在巴爾胡特出土,被視為守護神的天像有龍王、藥叉女、辯才天等,另有被視為藥叉的多聞天和增長天等四天王,由此得知佛教在傳播的過程中融入了本土的民間信仰,並將這些神祇歸入為護持佛教的天眾。
