Vajrapani Bodhisattva

Gilt bronze

金剛手菩薩像

尼泊爾

菩薩頭戴寶冠,繒帶卷曲上揚,戴花形耳環,面圓,眉間白毫呈橢圓形。袒上身,披帔帛,下著裙;雙臂均依附著蓮花莖蔓,花瓣上有金剛杵。右臂前伸至胸前施無畏印,掌心刻一法輪。身後由枝葉及果實所形成的兩棵樹,對稱地向上延展相交於頂端,形成一拱門狀的樹形背光。此形式的背光可能是源於十八世紀尼泊爾所流行的許願樹。
 此像舒右腿坐於蓮花座上,下方台座有卷草紋樣的裝飾,兩側刻劃坐獅,張口昂首,以前足支撐作低伏姿態。造像與植物分開鑄造再精巧地組合,顯得生動優美。此像底座一段簡短的銘文,載明其為伊斯興哈(Isisimha)於尼泊爾八五一年(1731)所敬獻。
