Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Brass

觀音菩薩像

印度

觀音寶冠高聳,中央現阿彌陀化佛,兩側冠帶飛揚,卷髮飄垂至肩。菩薩五官刻劃精緻,眉細目長,神情較為肅穆。花狀耳飾、雙層項鍊、珠串式聖線、臂釧、腕釧、腳釧、腰帶等各式繁縟首飾,更顯菩薩相好莊嚴。腰臀向左傾側,右腳前踏,姿態優雅地立於仰覆蓮台上。右掌已佚,左手舉於胸側拈長莖蓮花。花莖造型別致,莖從蓮台兩側向上蜿蜒伸展,於菩薩頭兩側綻放,形態優美。
 菩薩蓮台右側延伸出一個鑲製花瓣的小型蓮花座,上有一女俯首蹲跪,雙手持蓮,虔敬供養。此供養人有別於一般同類造像,其身軀圓潤,造型活潑,表現細膩。
 該像可能鑄造於印度西孟加拉邦(West Bengal)或是孟加拉國北部或東部,因人物面部塗有冷金,故推測曾流傳至西藏。主尊的眼、白毫、項鍊和聖線鑲銀,下唇鑲紅銅,衣服上的花朵圖案嵌銀和銅,整體造像顯得富麗華貴,展現出高超的鑲嵌技術。
