Yakushiji Temple East Hall: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Gilt copper alloy

藥師寺觀音菩薩像

日本

位於日本奈良市藥師寺東院堂,為該堂之主尊,俗稱聖觀音像,鑄於七世紀末至八世紀初。造像技法與該寺金堂藥師三尊像相近,約為同時期作品。一九五一年指定為日本國寶。
 觀音寶髻高聳,髻旁環飾華麗卷草紋樣,寶髻正面留存曾安裝阿彌陀化佛接榫之小孔。身軀渾圓,胸、腹纖細,跣足直立於蓮台,像高188.9公分,蓮台高47.5公分。左手上舉,右臂沿身側垂下,手勢與一般觀音像相反。斜披絡腋,下著裙,帔帛從左手肘環繞肩膀,再垂掛於臂間飄至蓮台上,柔和優美,裙薄貼體,腿間褶紋似水波漾開。以二重胸飾與臂釧、腕釧為莊嚴具,腰部飾以放射狀華美瓔珞。
 此像受中國初唐(618~712)至盛唐(712~756)時期造像樣式影響,比例適度,結構勻稱,輪廓清爽,肢體柔軟,姿態典雅,具高度寫實技巧,可謂白鳳(645~710)至奈良(710~794)時代觀音立像代表作。
