Ajanta Cave 1: King Sibi Jataka (detail)
阿旃陀石窟第1窟尸毗王本生圖
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於阿旃陀石窟（Ajanta Caves）第1窟大廳前壁右側。尸毗王割肉貿鴿的故事，為佛陀著名本生故事之一。畫面以一圖多景手法，表現故事的不同情節。雖多處剝落，仍可辨識故事梗概。圖左半部畫尸毗王及王妃坐於御座，被鷹追逐的鴿子停在王的大腿上，御座前為手執拂塵的宮女。右半部為尸毗王立於天平旁，王的右上有二婆羅門，注視著正在割肉的尸毗王，右下為哀傷的王妃和王子。畫中沒出現鷹的形象，意在突出表現尸毗王施捨的慈悲心。尸毗王的從容無懼，周邊妃嬪、宮女的悲痛驚慌，仙人和婆羅門的敬佩，畫面上歷歷可見。
