觀無量壽經變相

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土

甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。依據《佛說觀無量壽經》繪製。以二條縱向菱格紋飾帶將畫面區隔為三欄,中間是阿彌陀佛在西方淨土說法的場景,左欄為十六觀,右欄是未生怨。圖下部繪供養人。中間及下部嚴重缺損。
 阿彌陀佛頭光及身光層次豐富,華蓋飾以寶珠、帷幔,雙手結說法印。佛兩旁簇擁二菩薩、二弟子。二菩薩結跏趺坐於蓮座上,頂上有幢形傘蓋。佛及二菩薩、二弟子身後表現天宮樓閣。佛下方欄楯僅存三身菩薩,皆為跪姿,或合十或結印,其中一位持紅蓮。再下的水池中有孔雀及二水鳥,水池兩旁有寶蓋蔭覆的立佛和菩薩,右側立佛旁有捧蓮花的化生童子。
 左右兩欄均為條幅構圖。左側十六觀描繪韋提希夫人觀想西方淨土的情景,人物左右交錯,共十一個場景,各場景均有榜題。右側未生怨則以五座屋檐起翹的建築物作為場景的區分。
 圖下方供養人中,左側為一婦人及捧花盤侍女;右側繪一胡跪男供養人,左手持長柄香爐,右手高舉握鈴,身後為捧盤侍女。中間應繪有供物台,現已缺損。
