Ajanta Cave 6: Buddha Teaching the Dharma
Stone
阿旃陀石窟第6窟佛說法像
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於阿旃陀石窟（Ajanta Caves）第6窟上層前廊左側佛龕內，為佛三尊一鋪。主尊釋迦牟尼佛帶圓形頭光，結跏趺坐，作說法印，手指已殘損。兩旁佛像側立於仰覆蓮台上，面向主尊，均帶橢圓形頭光，右手下垂作與願印，左手持淨瓶。三尊像均面相圓滿，身軀渾厚，肩臂寬平，薄衣覆體，體現笈多王朝（約320～550）全盛時期的造像風格；其頭光、三道頸紋及其他細部裝飾，藉由色彩表現。
主尊台座立面中央雕象徵佛初次說法的法輪及雙鹿，左右兩側相對飾雙手合十的弟子及雄獅。主尊椅靠兩側雕飾摩竭魚，上方有體態生動、成對翱翔的供養飛天。
整體布局對稱，主次分明，形態生動傳神。造像之遠近、層次有致，極具立體感，顯示雕工手法精練。
