Guge White Temple: Tibetan Constellations and Heavenly Beings (detail)

古格王國遺址諸天及星宿圖

中國

位於白殿西壁南起第四組主尊兩側的中部與下部。約為十五世紀中葉作品。壁畫上部為主尊塑像時輪金剛之四部眷屬,中部和下部為十二天及二十七星宿(西藏天文星象缺少漢地二十八星宿中的女宿)。十二天由主神及其伴侶組成,穿插於各星宿之間,具藏文題記。諸天與星宿之身形或作天男、天女與獸首人身等,背景為寒林。
 中部右側壁畫第七列中心人物作明王相,雙臂高舉,足踏生靈,身側各坐二身天女;第八列由左而右依次為室女宮、氐宿與一身天女,各戴寶冠,衣帶飄揚,雙臂高舉於冠上;第九列左側為人形骷髏,右側有四臂象首人身者,各臂持物,坐於巨鼠上,身側為其三名部眾;第十列左側主尊人物坐於牛上,身側各有兩名天女,右側主尊呈四臂多面,坐於鵝上,身側圍繞四眷屬;第十一列左側主尊及其伴侶各坐於金翅鳥,右側主尊坐於牛上;第十二列有四名人物,可能為星宿眾,由左而右各坐於鵝、錦墊、蓮花與四輻輪。最下方第十三至十五列,呈每排三身,人物坐於鵝、麒麟、蓮花與寶瓶等,為星宿群像。
 其他尚有武士身形,頂戴頭盔,身穿戰甲,手持兵器,足蹬白靴。兵器之描繪,與古格王國遺址發現之實物,基本相同,足見其繪畫之寫實。
 該殿星宿天宮群像因藏文題記漫漶,難以全部辨識,然對於了解西藏天文星象之圖像特徵,提供寶貴的史料。
