勞度叉鬥聖變相
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。勞度叉鬥聖變共分六個情節，此圖雖殘損嚴重，但可見最初及最後兩個情節被畫在一起，推測原來並非大型變相，應為勞度叉鬥聖變的最早版本。屬九世紀作品。
圖以鋸齒狀的池岸劃分兩個情節。右上方有一白象立於蓮池中，右下方為勞度叉，描繪勞度叉施法變出水池，舍利弗變成白象，瞬間將水吸乾，勞度叉因而吃驚倒地。左下方為勞度叉鬥法慘敗墜地的最後情節，該情節下方畫群鹿吃草及山水風景，以突顯故事中的空間概念，更添觀賞趣味。
此圖榜題分別書寫「水池中生千葉寶華」及「見佛家象入池」字樣。作品嚴重缺損。
變相，是指以繪畫或雕刻的方式表現佛經的內容，除了卷軸類的佛畫之外，石窟壁畫或寺院壁畫亦有此類創作。
