雙神變像

阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆派特瓦佛寺遺址出土

阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆(Bagram, Parwan)派特瓦(Paitava)佛寺遺址出土,貝格拉姆即為迦畢試(Kapisa)古城。該處出土了數尊如此類焰肩佛造像而廣受世人矚目,所表現的是佛陀為降伏外道,上身出火,下身出水的雙神變。
 佛陀身著通肩袈裟,雙手於腹前結禪定印,結跏趺坐,肩上冒出熊熊火焰。頭光飾鋸齒紋,巨大的圓形背光外緣刻火焰紋。頭光左右是帝釋天和梵天手執傘蓋在空中飛舞。束腰圓形蓮座下緣圍繞花繩。以下的方形基座四個側面刻以重疊的莨苕葉裝飾柱頭的科林斯式(Corinthian)列柱,除隅柱之外每面配兩根間柱,形制均相同。正面列柱間造像,中間浮雕彌勒菩薩坐像,其左手持水瓶,右手上舉施無畏印。左右兩間各雕脇侍立像。
 就圖像而言,本像由出土於蘇托拉克(Shotorak)的燃燈佛授記圖及派特瓦雙神變像中引出一些要素,進而展開新的式樣,如火焰紋的身光、基座的彌勒菩薩坐像與供養脇侍立像取自蘇托拉克;鋸齒狀的頭光、持傘的梵天、帝釋天及焰肩坐佛,皆借用了派特瓦之圖像。此種創作方式,對巴米揚石窟焰肩佛坐像提供了解讀的線索。迦畢試造像系統中特有的焰肩佛像,對後來巴米揚以及中國新疆的龜茲石窟美術皆有深遠的影響。
